Hi everyone,
I am having an issue on a Lenovo P1 Gen4 and its Nivida RTX A2000 gpu.
From time to time a part of the screen on the left appears on the right side (is it what we call a screen offset?).
I am running Ubuntu 20.04 with HWE (kernel 5.13.0-39) and Nvidia drivers 510.54 coming from Ubuntu graphics drivers PPA (https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=focal)
I tried with 470-103 drivers too but I am getting the same issue.
Thanks in advance for your help :)

@generix Sure. Please find it attached to my post.
Since this is a hybrid graphics notebook, I’d rather suspect a bug in the intel driver.
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] ERROR CPU pipe A FIFO underrun
is this happening spontaneously during runtime and vanishing again or sometimes right after boot and stays until reboot?
I used prime-select to set the graphic card to use to be the Nvidia one.
This screen offset is not something that stays more than a second, it just appears from time to time. Sometimes it does it once but sometimes multiple times in a row. I have no idea what is triggering it :(
I have seen this Intel errors but as I am only using the Nvidia card, I didn’t think it could be the root cause.
I have tried what I have found here i5-10210U flickering display (built-in, HDMI and miniDP) and FIFO underrun while using USB and deep package C-states (#2077) · Issues · drm / intel · GitLab without success.
I also saw this message in journal

While the nvidia gpu is used for rendering, the internal display is still driven by the intel gpu.
You could try upgrading kernel+firmware using the liquorix ppa and the updated firmware package
https://packages.ubuntu.com/de/impish-updates/linux-firmware
@generix disabling Panel Self Refresh (PSR) is helping a lot. I haven’t seen this glitch/offset issue for a couple of hours now :)
I edited /etc/default/grub added to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT the kernel option i915.enable_psr=0 to disable PSR updated grub with sudo update-grub and then restarted.
