A. Steam

1. Login in Xorg
2. Launch steam game via proton and wait
   B. glxgears
3. Run this: __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 glxgears -info
4. Do something and wait

More Info

I am using Ubuntu 24.04.2.

My system is hybrid graphics where iGPU is AMDGPU from the CPU, and dGPU. The monitor is connected to iGPU. Hybrid graphics is also enabled in UEFI/BIOS, the boot process favors iGPU. In my system, my xorg does not seem to have an xorg config so i have to generate it.

Possible workaround:

1. Regenerate xorg config:

   sudo Xorg -configure
   

2. Edit the file to include the following Option "PageFlip" "false":

   Section "Device"
           ... other settings here ...
   	Driver      "amdgpu"
   	Option "PageFlip" "false"
   EndSection
   

   Note: That adding Option "PageFlip" "false" to the dGPU has caused my system to display anything after resume. There is sound though, so I am certain it did resume, just there is no display
3. Move the file to /etc/X11:

   sudo mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
   

4. Restart your display manager

   sudo systemctl restart display-manager
   

Start by reproducing the freeze with the listed Steam/Proton scenario and the provided glxgears command on the hybrid AMDGPU/NVIDIA Xorg setup. Compare behavior with driver 550 and the documented PageFlip workaround; done means the rendering stall is isolated and the issue is resolved or the required diagnostic evidence is identified.
