      Does anyone know what is going on here?

      ASUS 1015E running antiX-23.2

        Looks to me like an issue with the graphics drivers in use.

        Please check:

        $ sudo dmesg
        
        $ sudo inxi -zv8 --za --zv

        Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

          As Robin noted hopefully a driver issue.
          Use a fresh antiX Full version, On the boot screen please select advanced options
          You have a choice of two kernel versions please test with the alternate kernel

          Do you see the same problem with both Kernels.

          Without further information we are unable to give better advice

            Hello! This is what I get as the result. I’m not quite sure what it means, however, when I turned my computer off for a few hours and turned it on again, the problem completely disappeared! Baffling.

              Lets hope the green dot plague stays dissapeared 🙂

              Possible reasons for the problem, too many.

                I had to replace the inverter on a Panasonic CF-48 because of dim screen issues.
                Worked fine after replacement.

                Sometimes I drive a crooked road to get my mind straight.
                I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
                Motorcycle racing is rocket science.

                  Way to go @rokytnji!
                  You bring more devices that are close to “end of life” BACK to life!
                  I wish at times I was better at such things. Much larger server systems,
                  with LOTS of room in the chassis are systems I can replace components.
                  To a somewhat lesser degree, I’ve had success with desktop units too,
                  but the last time I did something to a laptop – my Dell Inspiron 5558
                  I DID have success, but a 5-10 minute job took me AT LEAST a few HOURS,
                  if not longer, to complete and all I did was replace a HDD with a SSD;
                  that’s IT! Conceptually very simple, and I completely understood what
                  to do. Getting my coordination between my eyes and my hands was another
                  matter altogether! I did it, but it took orders of magnitude longer than
                  necessary to complete.

                  Long, long time ago (before Miss American pie) I was able to change my
                  own oil on my recent vintage autos. I quickly learned to GOTO the mechanic
                  or the dealer to get the first oil/lube/filter job done because the
                  factories often power those oil filters in place instead of gently hand
                  tightening them. After trying to do that, I went to a few of those
                  places promising a ten minute oil change! Half hour later, and sometimes
                  a discount on the next change, they destroyed the old filter but got it
                  off and replaced it; at least this fella learned something – sometimes it’s
                  better to let others struggle, and pay them well for a job well done!

                  In your case, you appear to know what you are doing!
