[SOLVED]Flicking on my HP with Inter TigerLake & Nvidia Mx450 GPU

Flicking on my HP  with Inter TigerLake & Nvidia Mx450 GPU

The Problem confused me for a few days, It occurs when the cursor met the edge of upper or left bound.

That's my controller's detailed information.
```plain
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 01)
    DeviceName: Onboard IGD
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 87e1
--
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU117M [GeForce MX450] (rev a1)
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 87e6
    Kernel driver in use: nvidia
```

Sorry, as a newer Arch user, idk where to get more useful information.

Does it mean Bug(s)?  I have downgraded my kernal but it didn't work.

I sincerely thank you for your help in your private time.

That's the screenshot, which looks like the cosmic microwave background:

Please replace the oversized image w/ a link and post your xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General and the output or "loginctl session-status" and "xrandr -q" (in code tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode )

This is the output of Xorg Log: https://dpaste.com/DAFG6WA7E

I found that when i change the resolution to 1440x900, the flicking disappeared.

This is the output of loginctl session-status:

XWAYLAND0

Errr… this obviously only makes sense on an X11 session - since you're using GDM, also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#Use_Xorg_backend to avoid interference from there.
Also a good test to see whether this occurs there as well or is limited to gnomes wayland compositor.

Thank you, I turn my kernal into lts and it didn't flick.  But I'm sorry i can't recover the system to check the problem.

I guess the problem may be that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … oken_VSync
