Hi!
Description
I am using Isaac Sim after installing Nvidia driver 550.54 for my RTX 4050 laptop. But the display is abnormal with artifacts without --no-opengl-files when installing the driver. However, I cannot boot Isaac Sim if not installing opengl files. How should I solve this? Either by changing the current display to dGPU-only mode (which I tried but could not), or by booting the Isaac Sim with self-configured opengl settings?
Basic Config
Computer / System Environment: Lenovo Thinkbook 16 (Ultra 5)
Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.6
GPU / GPU Driver: RTX4050 Laptop + NVIDIA-driver-550.54.14
Application(s) Used / Version Number: Isaac Sim 2023.1.1
Full log file (if applicable):
Install full nvidia-driver-550
Issue
Isaac Sim is running well, but the display shows artifacts with flittering blocks and latent colors around the cursor. I guess that might result from a hybrid GPU output mode.

Issue
Display is fine, but the Isaac Sim seems rely on the opengl files to run.

2024-03-27 05:51:04 [588ms] [Error] [gpu.foundation.plugin] No device could be created. Some known system issues:
- The driver is not installed properly and requires a clean re-install.
- Your GPUs do not support RayTracing: DXR or Vulkan ray_tracing, or hardware is excluded due to performance.
- The driver cannot enumerate any GPU: driver, display, TCC mode or a docker issue. For Vulkan, test it with Vulkaninfo tool from Vulkan SDK, instead of nvidia-smi.
- For Ubuntu, it requires server-xorg-core 1.20.7+ and a display to work without --no-window.
- For Linux dockers, the setup is not complete. Install the latest driver, xServer and NVIDIA container runtime.

Concerns
According to Isaac Sim official guidance, I should not install any Vulkan and Mesa utilities by myself. According to the hardware supplier, this device supports direct connection to dGPU without Optimus using the iGPU only if connecting with an integrated monitor, which I did. Nor was I able to disable the intel GPU to display only with Nvidia GPU, even using prime-select nvidia. I have checked some available troubleshooting, not to find a feasible solution.
I would appreciate it a lot if anyone could help me to solve this dilemma. Thanks!
