MemberLooks to me like an issue with the graphics drivers in use.
Please check:
$ sudo dmesg $ sudo inxi -zv8 --za --zvWindows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

MemberAs 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 kernelDo you see the same problem with both Kernels.
Without further information we are unable to give better advice

MemberLets hope the green dot plague stays dissapeared 🙂
Possible reasons for the problem, too many.

rokytnjiForum AdminI 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.

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!
