I just installed Linux Mint 20.2 Xfce on my wife's old mid-2010 white MacBook (model 7,1), which has a Nvidia 320M graphics card. However, when I close the lid and the MacBook goes into suspension (blinking white light on the side), I reopen the lid and the screen remains black. Any key that I press do nothing to wake the computer and the white light goes off (as if the computer is awake, but the screen is off). If I close the lid again, the white light starts to blink like before (back to suspension). The only resource is to hold the power button down to shutdown the MacBook and turn it on again.
At first, I was using the Nouveau driver because switching to Nvidia driver would give a black screen on startup. Then I followed the instructions on the link provided by buffalovulgaris and successfully installed the Nvidia driver 340.108 (recommended by the system driver manager). However, the suspension problem continues, no matter the driver used.
Can you guys help me to solve the problem or just show a way to disable suspension when the lid is closed (just turn off screen, if possible)? I'm just new to Linux (mainly Windows user) and have none to little experience using command line, but can follow instructions (if you need some diagnostics, just tell me what to type on terminal). And I'm sorry for the bad English, I'm brazilian. Thanks!
UPDATE: just tried to suspend the computer using the power menu (where it shows the buttons to power off, suspend, etc), instead of closing the lid, and it doesn't come back from suspension either. So it's a problem related to suspension in general. Tried to change the behaviour of the lid in the energy option, but it was to no avail. Even if I choose to turn off screen or lock screen instead of supend, the MacBook goes into suspension when I close the lid. When I open the lid after closing it or suspend using the system menu, no key will wake up the computer. If I quickly press the power button (not a normal long press used to shut down the MacBook), the computer also immediately shuts down.
