This seems to happen on most if not all Nvidia cards but the good news is that if you are using any of the Linux drivers and have the nvidia-settings tool installed it is just a simple command.
Solution:
nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
Enter the above command in your terminal and the screentearing will be fixed which is like enabling Tear Free on AMD cards.&........
I don't consider a lot of these "extra" kernel modules "nice to have" as they often contain drivers for essential items like your soundcard, your NIC and many other devices that may not work. Sometimes you may find that "sound" or "ethernet" worked before a kernel/OS upgrade and now in the new version they don't. Often it will be because you need to install the "extra" kernel modules.

You don't even have to restart to make this work.........
I couldn't figure out whyI couldn't install a simple package. This is what's annoying about cutting edge Debian distros, yes we know you support each license on average for 1-2 years but why take down the supporting binary packages and basically disable the older versions?

Asterisk Agent Login ProblemUsing the AgentCallbackLogin function I couldn't login
I knew I had my agents setup properly in agents.conf so why couldn't I login?
The reason is because agents.conf was missing the [b:994d7a34af][agents][/b:994d7a34af] context!
I just added [agents] above the existing agent declarations and then I was able to login as expected.
It took a lot of figuring out and reading though!........
