It looks like your system is using the nvidia kernel driver with the modeset Xorg driver. I'm unsure it's installed properly...
Please try uninstalling the Nvidia driver and then reinstall it via the 'Additional Drivers' application. Now reboot and if the problem persists then run: journalctl -b0 > journal.txt and attach the resulting text file here. ** Summary changed: - ThinkPad P72 - Display freezes when moving mouse pointer + [nvidia+modeset] ThinkPad P72 - Display freezes when moving mouse pointer ** Tags added: hybrid nvidia ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => xorg-server (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876533 Title: [nvidia+modeset] ThinkPad P72 - Display freezes when moving mouse pointer Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a ThinkPad P72 with a Quadro P5200. Whenever I have Discrete graphics enabled in the BIOS, or set the prime-select profile to NVIDIA, the display will freeze and the mouse pointer will drift for a few seconds. This makes the system nearly unusable. However, the issue can be fixed by simply attaching a new display and running xrandr --auto. This video illustrates the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOQxK_4xII0 I have tried with a newer kernel version and with older versions of the NVIDIA driver (390, 435). Nothing works. For this reason I believe the issue to probably reside in the kernel or X.
