I'm having similar tearing, but I can't say if it's the exact issue 
you're having. My video card is an ATI FireGL 300 v.3, so no NVidia. This 
only happens in graphics mode, with the default gnome 3 desktop. This has 
been an ongoing issue for me since gonme 3. I don't even know how to 
report that as a bug, as I can't take a screenshot. It happens at the 
login screen in graphical mode.

By the way, how did you take the screenshot? Print screen? I can't do 
that, as I can't even log in. 


The way I'm being able to run Fedora (currently 22) is to install the 
Mate desktop and run Mate in non-graphical mode. 

1) dnf groupinstall "Mate Desktop"
2) systemctl set-default multi-user.target    # see /etc/inittab
3) create a .xinitrc file in the home directory with a line
exec mate-session

Then, you start the x server the trusted way: startx.

I also tried cinnamon, and that also has some issues on my machine 
(though it works fine on other machines I have).

This works for now, but I'm totally dependent on Mate. When that stops 
being supported, I'm toast.
