Getting graphics artifacting on my 7840HS laptop, even after a motherboard replacement. Is it a driver thing? - eviltoast

I’ve installed Pop!OS after getting my Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5 back from the warranty repair. Supposedly they changed the motherboard (which I don’t doubt, it was waiting a week for new parts apparently), but even after that I’m still getting graphical errors and bugs when moving between desktops and other window animations. I know X11 can be a bit buggy at best, so it could just be that on top of the newer SoC.

    I ran the diagnostics and they all came up clean, which I mentioned to Lenovo (who were pretty chill with getting the mobo replaced).

    It seems to happen more when the graphics are clocked lower, or transitioning from high power state to lower power states. That being said, I’ve so far had it work pretty good on KDE-Neon on Wayland. Haven’t test X11 yet tho.
