Okay, clearing things up the issue has been resolved:

  1. Either use LTS kernel (6.6) or 6.12rc.
  2. Make sure to enable nvidia-suspend, nvidia-resume and nvidia-hibernate systemd services.
  3. Make sure you have fbdev and NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 (and /var/tmp path etc)
  4. Use nvidia open dkms 565 drivers.

Finally! I had issues for a really long time, had been thru this topic several times but always failed and thus stayed with X11. Now, after upgrading to ubuntu 24.10 I had and additional reason why I needed wayland und installing the 6.12(.3) kernel fixed my problem. This kernel is not yet officially available for 24.10 but there is a decent way with this kernel maintainer's script.
