Ubuntu 20.04 Suspend resume fails if laptop lid is closed [modeset(G0): failed to set mode: No space left on device] (Razer Blade 15 laptop with nvidia proprietary driver)

[Chris Bainbridge]

Steps to reproduce:

  - Boot docked laptop (i.e. lid closed, external monitors connected, USB keyboard plugged in)
  - Log in, click desktop menu item "Power off / logout -> suspend"
  - Laptop will suspend
  - Press key on USB keyboard to resume
  - Resume fails - external monitor shows black screen with cursor
  - (this used to work ok in Ubuntu 18.04)

Sounds somewhat similar to bug #1879893 but it appears that is supposed to be fixed now.
