Personal curiosity: Does anybody know how well Devuan plays with NVIDIA video cards and the proprietary NVIDIA driver? I have had difficulties resuming from hibernate and suspend on a systemd system after installing the proprietary NVIDIA driver, which installs also several sleep/resume scripts.
I don't think the proprietary nvidia driver has played nice with suspend/hibernate under Linux in any distro at any time in the past twenty years.
You underestimate the time frame, Nick and neglected to point a finger at the other guilty party, amd. I built a machine for linux, red hat 5.0 in late '98 IIRC putting a mid priced amd video card in it. then waited to get a driver faster that the framebuffer vesa which could only do about 8 frames/sec, then saw a report that their card, naming it could now do movies with such and such for a driver, so I ran to staples who then had video cards and bought that exact card. Didn't work, turns out that w/o changing a dotted i on the box, what was in the box was new production and totally different. The box was open and linux was mentioned, staples would not take it back so I was out around $125 back when that was 3 weeks of lunch money. It was a long time before I bought another amd video product.
The nvidia (and amd if IRCC) cards do not quote a reset command as they should. There has been a techtalk on BSD behyve and GPU passthrough some months ago and that was the essence. Any operation requiring the GPU to reset propperly requires powercycling the graphics card. That's a platform-independent problem that's to be solved by nvidia firware.
