Hello, I've been using Bodhi on an older Acer netbook (AOD260, upgraded to 2GB RAM) for a couple years now with absolutely zero issues until this week. A few days ago when I booted the laptop, the "Acer" boot screen (which is usually black with an Acer logo) was displayed as a bright red instead. The background of the login page was also a bright red. I logged into the machine and it appears that everything that is usually black or blue is being displayed as red. The gradient in the title bar of apps has some strange red artifacts in it (which I assume is due to the gradient in the bar having some sort of blue which is failing to be displayed properly).
After messing with the resolution in the "Monitor Settings" (under Main > Applications > Preferences > Monitor Settings) and switching between some of the possible resolutions, the display "fixed" itself for a few days. Until today, when the issue came back. I tried cycling through the resolution options again but it didn't seem to fix it.
I'm not exactly sure if there's anything that can be done on the software side of things or if this seems like a hardware issue, but I'm open to absolutely any sort of suggestion or recommendation as to how I can possibly fix this. I am not super familiar with Linux, but I did discover a tool called "xcalib" which I was thinking might be of value if I need to adjust the R/G/B values but I haven't done anything with it yet.
Has anyone ever experienced such an issue before? I tried to search this forum and Google for any similar issue but the only thing I could really find was this Reddit thread with a picture of similar artifacts: www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/ev771j/help_with_my_monitor_displaying_weird_artifacts/ and someone mentions needing to switch the color settings to RGB, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about trying that (or if it's even possible) on Bodhi.
Any help is appreciated, thank you all!
