OK since a full fix will require a new driver I've added an Nvidia task
to track that... So the Xorg task here either shouldn't exist or should
be Fix Released??

2. Plug in the external monitor in HDMI port

[Additional information]
Feedback from NV:
An NVIDIA driver built with the features needed to get rid of the laggy
monitor problem causes Xorg 1.21.1.3 to crash. There's a patch for Xorg to fix
the crash (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1275) and it
was first included in the 1.21.1.4 release.
Since the older X servers crash, NVIDIA deliberately does a version check in
the driver and enables these features for Xorg servers that are known to work,
i.e. 1.21.1.4 or higher.
This unfortunately prevents backporting the fix to 1.21.1.3.
Engineering has chosen this approach since a crash is worse than the
low FPS lag and the user might lose work merely by plugging/unplugging
displays. If it was about a performance degradation, slight
corruption, or something non-fatal, we wouldn't need to check Xorg
version
