 I'm newer at a Bodhi Linux and Linux at all, but I'm using and liking it. From now, I'm at a very old PC and now I got a problem that every place of my desktop have a red border, or a red square in front of it. I think it's a hardware acceleration problem, because I faced it in Microsoft Edge browser and solved just disabling the acceleration options. My actual PC is an: Intel Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5700 @ 3.00GHz. With 4gb's of RAM and an Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10). An image of my problem:  |

Graphics: Device-1: Intel 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.4 driver: X: loaded: intel unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa gpu: i915 resolution: 1360x768~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: i915 (: G33) v: 2.1 Mesa 23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1~22.04.2 I got that result. Ok, your system uses 'i915' kernel driver and the Xorg subsystem uses 'intel' driver (as described here). You can disable the hardware acceleration this way: 1) Create the directory (if it doesn't exists) for X11 configuration files: $ sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d2) Run the Nano text editor to create the configuration file 20-intel.conf: $ sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.confand write its contents: Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "intel"
Accel "false"
EndSection
Save this contents and exit from the editor: Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X3) Reboot your computer. 4) Verify that the Xorg reads your config: $ grep -i Accel /var/log/Xorg.0.log | more5) You can try different acceleration methods instead of disabling it. See Option "AccelMethod" in the man-page: $ man intel |

Earlier, I also got it doing other configs at xorg, but I solved typing: "sudo apt upgrade". |

Earlier, I also got it doing other configs at xorg, but I solved typing: "sudo apt upgrade". I'm sorry, I did a mistake in the configuration file contents. Please login in text console (enter your username and password) and open the configuration file in the editor: $ sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.confThen replace the line Accel "false" with the correct one: Option "Accel" "False"
and save the correct file.
Reboot your computer again:
$ sudo reboot
The desktop environment must appear.

It worked, but the red part keep appearing. I tried to disable the acceleration method at the "man intel", it worked too, but doesn't change anything. It's better if I throw it at the trash and get a better hardware, isn't it? |

Glad to see that you solved the problem with config file!
What about the red artefacts... I don't know exactly why they appear.
Before to "throw it at the trash" you can adjust the BIOS setting "Shared Video Memory Size" (another variants are UMA Frame Buffer Size, VGA Share Memory Size, On-Chip Video Window Size, Internal Graphics Mode Select). Try to set it "256 MB" or more.

I gonna try other configs and try to figure out the problem, but It's a 2008 gpu that comes from the motherboard and runs in a specific config, linux is really good, but can't do these type of myracles. |

I don't saw it in snap packages and .deb manual installations. |

No, it appear at all applications, it appear at steam, at edge, at Chrome, at games that I install from Steam. I don't saw it in snap packages and .deb manual installations. I don't have the hardware you have. Therefore I can't test solutions. You can try to specify some options for the X Window System display server. As sample, different color depths. To do this, create the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-xserver.conf that contains: [Seat:*]
xserver-command=/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg -depth 24
You can try the values 16, 15, 8 instead of 24. For the information about the available X server parameters, see the section: $ man XorgYou can restart XServer without rebooting your computer. For this, switch to the text console: Ctrl+Alt+F2, login and restart the lightdm display manager service: $ sudo service lightdm restartTo switch back to the graphics console, use: Ctrl+Alt+F7
P.S. Have you tried this /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf configuration option: Section "Device"
Identifier "card0"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection? |
