Thanks for the update.
To be honest, not sure if my issues were exactly the same as these two
bugs, they are are both for upgrades while mine is for a fresh install.
A lot of the discussion in this bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867668 seems
to be focused on /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf, which doesn't exist on
my system.

Are there any bugs filed for graphic issues with a new install of 20.04?

Note, I've switched to Wayland and have seen a significant improvement.
There are still some issues, but they are much less frequent.

Regards,
