Since I installed a GTX 970 and the Nvidia driver on my Bookworm (12)
system, I've noticed some odd behavior.  I'll start with the most obnoxious.
 I'm open to any ideas.  Well, not _any_ any.

1. Last night before I went to bed I suspended my computer at 2:24:55.  The
next log message is at 7:08:53.  I definitely wasn't awake then.  Why would
it awaken in the middle of the night?  The keyboard tray was pushed in, so
it shouldn't be a case of kitten on the keys.

journalctl = https://pastebin.com/0dAakK3H
dmesg = https://pastebin.com/tjeiwubf
xsession-errors = https://pastebin.com/nbu7dLBW

These excerpts all start at the time I issued the suspend command, until
after I fixed the monitors (or the end of the file if I couldn't figure out
when that was).  If you need the whole "from boot" log, let me know.

2.  I have three monitors, arranged in a row L-R.  Left=DP=1920x1080 but
rotated CW 90°.  The other two are DVI 1920x1200 and not rotated.  I wrote a
script (fixmonitors) that calls xrandr to put the monitors back in the
positions and orientations that make sense, and it's called from
./share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/80-display-setup.conf :

[SeatDefaults]
display-setup-script=/export/bin/fixmonitors

Works great, normally.  When I woke up the screens to log in, only center &
right ones woke, left was dark.  So I killed lightdm with ctrl-alt-bkspc
which made it respawn and call fixmonitors again, and left appeared.

The left screen also appears sideways when the computer's locked for a long
time.  The same workaround would probably work there too but I didn't notice
it was wrong until after I'd logged in.

3. Sometimes xfwm crashes on resume, and I have to run "DISPLAY=:0 xfwm &"
from the console to fix it.  When that happens, the Workplace Switcher,
instead of displaying 8 triple-wide images (one for each workplace),
displays 8 single-wide images.  Some (all?) startup apps (the ones from
Settings -> Session and Startup -> Application Autostart) don't run, but I
suspect xfce isn't putting /export/bin in $PATH despite what /etc/profile
says to do.  Or when I run xfwm manually it doesn't run startup programs.

My DVD drives also stopped ejecting, but since they also don't work in the
BIOS, it's probably not OS-related.
