Hi @jwstolarek, I can’t really say I managed to have it working perfectly, sorry. IIRC the service was also enabled but inactive, and I activated it manually. And, yes, problem #2 seems to be exactly what I was also experiencing.
The truth is that I gave up insisting on this, and have been using nouveau since then. It gives me pretty acceptable performance (plain desktop use, nothing fancy), runs Wayland smoothly, and suspend works as expected. The main reason for the switch is that I realized how much better Wayland is compared to Xorg. This is not really a permanent move, I will be following Nvidia’s progress, and will migrate back once there is some solid advance. But, for the time being, I guess I’ll stay with nouveau.
I wish you luck, and, please, do post any updates here. Cheers!
