My system does not seem to like the nvidia driver (I went with nvidia-340). The display looked like crap, even after working with nvidia-settings. This has happened before; I think 173 may have been the last driver that worked well for me. I back to nouveau and the older versions of xserver-xorg-core and xserver-common. There's something about my onboard video/monitor combination that often seems to exhibit problems, even with the nouveau driver (although nouveau seems to be working properly for me now). FWIW, Fedora Rawhide displays properly for me with xorg-x11-server-common-1.17.1-14.fc23.x86_64, xorg-x11-server- Xorg-1.17.1-14.fc23.x86_64, and xorg-x11-drv- nouveau-1.0.11-3.fc23.x86_64

Apparently random text characters, or parts thereof, would be missing in various applications including the Lightdm greeter, Firefox, Pidgin, Mate-terminal, the Mate panel clock, Unetbootin, and the Mate menu. This occurs both at my monitor's native resolution (1680x1050) and at 1600x1200.
