screenshot of blurry state after resume

SUMMARY

After resuming from Suspend the desktop is blurry. Only disabling compositing fixes the issue.

I checked #364766 but it's not the same issue

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use nvidia driver on P1 (435)
2. Suspend
3. Resume

OBSERVED RESULT
Desktop is blurred

EXPECTED RESULT
Should be like before it was suspended

Have you updated nvidia driver recently?

Comment 3 mimo 2019-11-20 14:26:03 UTC
I have recently installed this laptop - it's Lenovo P1 2nd generation; I previously had a P1 1st generation which didn't have the problem

I have downgraded the nvidia drivers now to nvidia-driver-430 (from 435) but same problem

I wanted to test with nouveau but that didn't work at all

The blurriness is sort of dynamic - characters become clearer when you get close to them with the cursor.. very odd
Comment 4 mimo 2019-11-20 14:32:32 UTC
Worked out that setting the rendering backend to XRender "solves" the problem
Comment 5 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-11-21 12:36:09 UTC
It can be a driver issue. Did you have nvidia-driver-430 on the old laptop?
Comment 6 mimo 2019-11-21 13:47:29 UTC
The old one had the nvidia-418.56 driver

I can find this in the old xorg log:
8086:3e9b:17aa:2267 rev 0

The new one is (--) PCI: (0@0:2:0) 8086:3e9b:17aa:22a8 rev 2

I'll see if I can downgrade to the old version
Comment 7 mimo 2019-12-12 10:39:28 UTC
Fixed it, not sure how. These are some of the things I did:

* `apt purge nvidia-*` && `ubuntu-drivers install nvidia-driver-435`
* ```
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf 
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off
```
`update-initramfs -u`
