I am using a Sony VPCF11S1E laptop with BIOS.
I managed to install manjaro 20.0.3 on it with 5.7 kernel.
Then there was an upgrade to a 5.8 kernel.
The installation was without errors.
When I rebooted, manjaro should have started. It tried
and tried … the display remained black. Also the older
versions could no longer be started.
With a live system I could save the /home/-Directory.
Then I installed manjaro-xfce 20.1 with 5.8.6 kernel.
With the new system, I saw problems, which I cannot handle.
1.) I cannot put my pc in suspend mode. With the older system
there was a parameter acpi_sleep=nonvs, which I had added
at the end of the variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
in file /etc/default/grub. After that I made a sudo update-grub.
With the new systen, this procedure does not help.
When I enter suspend mode (in German Bereitschaft),
the system is trying and trying… without an end.
2.)
I guess the display driver is the problem. So I tried
to install the proprietary nvidia-340xx Driver: Starting > Using config ‘video-nvidia-340xx’ for device: 0000:01:00.0 (0300:10de:0a29) Display controller nVidia Corporation GT216M [GeForce GT 330M] > Installing video-nvidia-340xx… Sourcing /etc/mhwd-x86_64.conf Has lib32 support: true Sourcing /var/lib/mhwd/db/pci/graphic_drivers/nvidia-340xx/MHWDCONFIG Processing classid: 0300 Sourcing /var/lib/mhwd/scripts/include/0300 Processing classid: 0302 :: Synchronizing package databases…

At the end the driver is (perhaps) installed, but it is not used.
No marks for video-nvidia-340x in hardware configuration.
3.)
If I leave my PC alone for some time, the display should be locked.
This occurs. After entering my password, the screen is visible.
But the mouse and the keyboard no longer work. The mouse pointer
is in a steady state - whatever movement of the mouse or keypressing.
These are my urgent problems. That Stellarium is no longer displaying
and a lot more problems is secondary.
acpi_sleep= [HW,ACPI] Sleep options
Format: { s3_bios, s3_mode, s3_beep, s4_nohwsig,
old_ordering, nonvs, sci_force_enable, nobl }
See Documentation/power/video.rst for information on
s3_bios and s3_mode.
s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
used during resume from hibernation.
old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
control method, with respect to putting devices into
low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
of _PTS is used by default).
nonvs prevents the kernel from saving/restoring the
ACPI NVS memory during suspend/hibernation and resume.
sci_force_enable causes the kernel to set SCI_EN directly
on resume from S1/S3 (which is against the ACPI spec,
but some broken systems don't work without it).
nobl causes the internal blacklist of systems known to
behave incorrectly in some ways with respect to system
suspend and resume to be ignored (use wisely).
Thank you, megavolt, for your help.
I installed kernel 5.4. “uname -a” says Linux caio 5.4.64-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 9 18:26:19 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux
In the new system I tried to install the proprietary driver:

Fertig …
It is trying to generate a file linux58-nvidia-340xx instead of
linux54-nvidia-340xx.
Where can I find the install script for a correction?
Suspend is still not working - it is still trying and trying…
But I can hear a relay clicking in my laptop, which also occurred
with the 5.7 kernel.
