Hello,

You could use `nouveau.runpm=0` on the kernel command line to prevent the
NVIDIA card from auto-suspending, that should "get rid" of the fail to resume
error.

FYI, with nomodeset you are disabling both GPU drivers. This is mostly
responsible for the lost of effects in your DE, as your DE could prefer to not
use effects if there is no 3D hardware acceleration available. If you want to
try disabling only Nouveau, use `nouveau.modeset=0` on the kernel command line.

Could you attach the Xorg.log from a run without `acpi=off` and `nomodeset`
please? When you say that boot freezes when gdm starts, I guess switching to a
tty does not work, nor pressing the power button of your laptop, or trying to
connect over SSH from another computer?
