I would appreciate some help with my HP Elitebook X360 with Intel UHE 620 graphics

Since I've been using this device I've sometimes had issues (depending on the kernel. The internal display seems not to refresh correctly.

Some examples:

1. At the login screen if I push the mouse to some moves I see a mouse arrow everywhere I stopped with the mouse.


2. If I type my login I don't see anything being typed on the display, but I do get logged in. If I hover over the login field with the mouse I suddenly see that I typed something.


3. When logged in after using a pull-down menu in (e.g. Librecad) the menu stays on the screen until I hover over it with the mouse, then it's gone.


4. If I push at the dash-icon then about 95% of the screen will not update/refresh until I hover with the mouse from the top to the bottom of the display. Then it will be refreshed.

This ONLY appears on the internal display. On an external display mirrored via HDMI there is NO PROBLEM at all.

Over the last 2 years I've been coping with the problem by waiting for the next kernel or the next after that one, while staying at the last working kernel.

But now I am waiting so much time by using kernel 5.8.0-63 where I still have NO issues.

I am actually using Ubuntu 20.04.4 with display driver i915
Or with dual-boot I am using Windows with no problems.

Trying any later kernel than 5.8.0-63 I have these issues.
Today I tried an alpha of 22.04. as live-stick with kernel 5.15.0.18 and there are the same issues.

I hope someone can help me here. All my other Ubuntu problems I was able solve by finding solutions in the web, but this time I can't find anything... I only found some things with freezing displays...

If you tell me what you need, I would be happy to provide more info.
