Bug Description

I installed:
" linux-lowlatency " which installed kernel 5.4 and I had very low resolution.

Then I installed
linux-lowlatency-hwe-20.04
linux-lowlatency-hwe-20.04-edge
which installed kernel 5.8

Yesterday kernel lowlatency worked, today not working with nvidia.
I tried update system today, but it not helped.

Questions:

1. Is any documentation for what it is "hwe" and "edge" from
"linux-lowlatency-hwe-20.04-edge" ?

2. I use Linux Mint 20.1 and kernel lowlatency and sometimes nvidia driver not working. More often does not work.

========================================================================
I've compared Xorg.0.log with Meld and
with low latency is missing line for example:

From other Xorg.log with 5.8.0-44-lowlatency #50~20.04.1-Ubuntu
the same error:
