I’ve got something extremely weird going on.
It looks like NVIDIA drivers [415.25] work with a different monitor than I have even though I’ve got the only one. This is a desktop PC with a single GPU.
As a result the ForceFullCompositionPipeline option doesn’t work (there’s heavy tearing in all applications) and nvidia-settings cannot change Color Correction settings among other things.
The only “fix” I’ve found so far is to software suspend/resume or to physically unplug and plug back my monitor’s HDMI cable.
OS: Fedora 29 64 with all updates installed, kernel 4.19.13-300.fc29.x86_64
Drivers: 415.25
GPU: GTX 1060 (the only one in a system)
Monitor: a single monitor connected via HDMI

I don’t know what I’ve updated recently on my Fedora 29 64 but now I “enjoy” heavy diagonal tearing in all applications and it’s driving me mad.
I even tried options nvidia-drm modeset=1
but that didn’t help. Even when I’m scrolling text in this tiny Create Topic window I get tearing. Damn!
Please advise.
Edit: I also cannot edit any Color Correction settings - when I try to adjust gamma, contrast,brightness nothing happens at all.
Edit 2: I physically unplugged the HDMI cable from my display and connected it again - that solved everything. No idea what’s going on. I will now attach Xorg.0.log for everyone concerned.
