Computer not suspending when using 460.27.04 beta drivers on Manjaro

Hi,

I recently installed the 460.27.04 beta drivers on my Manjaro KDE system using the nvidia-beta-dkms package in AUR with a 1080ti. While it did fix several issues that I was experiencing in the stable driver, I noticed my computer can no longer suspend. I have attempted suspending via the suspend button in KDE, running systemctl suspend, and using pm-suspend and none of them worked. My system begins suspending and I can hear my disks turning off but then the computer immediately spins back up to my desktop. This did not happen in the stable driver (latest 455).

I checked my journalctl outputs after attempting to suspend and noticed that it is reporting a device not being able to suspend while the disks in the system were going to sleep:

I generated the nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (381.8 KB) immediately after an attempted suspend.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

More interesting is this:

[ 2427.117593] NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations module parameter is set. System Power Management attempted without driver procfs suspend interface. Please refer to the 'Configuring Power Management Support' section in the driver README.

Maybe unset the module option to test if this is the problem.

That was it. Seems like testing out that parameter right before trying out new drivers was not a good idea.

Thanks so much.
