Is anyone else getting weird graphical glitches with Fedora 28 MATE?

I just did a fresh install and see things like: weird colors where they don’t belong (red/black areas, text in a very faint pinkish color), disappearing/discolored segments of the top menubar, etc.

You can see some of the shortcut locations in the file manager are totally invisible. Mousing over them might make them appear/disappear.

EDIT: Well, installing nvidia-drivers from negativo gets rid of those artifacts but introduces pretty nasty screen tearing. :stuck_out_tongue: I had been using nouveau with Fedora 27 with decent results. Ideas on solving either the glitches with nouveau or screen tearing with nvidia?

EDIT2: This solved the screen tearing: nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }".

Solution made persistent by creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia-noscreentearing.conf with contents:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Option         "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On}"
EndSection
