Bug#1072994: Red and grey screens in some parts of applications/websites on Debian 12
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.99.917+git20210115-1
When I was using different GNU/Linux distros (Trisquel, puppy linux,
etc.) it has never happened to me.
But now, with Debian, I often see red screens on Brave homepage (not
"Brave search"), Elisa, Duckduckgo AI Chat website, some of Debian
popup, Discover, KDE Settings, grey screen around the search bar of
Duckduckgo, red color around a youtube video etc. that suggest that
I have graphic problems but not depending by me and my pc.
Can anyone explain how I can fix this problem?
Considering that I have had no such problems on kde and lxqt with
other distributions, I think it is a problem that can be fixed and
it is not up to my pc but Debian itself.
Also I don't think it's a ram problem, because with 4GB of swap
memory I can have 1GB of ram free.
I opened a thread in this forum
(https://forum.tuttosulinux.it/topic/24/schermate-rosse-in-alcune-parti-delle-applicazioni-siti-web-su-debian)
and someone helped me to do some step to see if it was possible to
fix this problem but failing. What they told me to do with no
success is:
- trying to re-install mesa drivers and intel driver ones
- changing themes of LXQT and Desktop Environment (I tried XFCE,
MATE, LXQT, IceWM, KDE x11 and KDE Wayland)
- uninstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel of Debian 12 and installing
just xserver-xorg-video-vesa but after the GRUB interface it won't
login and I had a black screen with a flashing dash so I
re-installed xserver-xorg-video-intel of Debian 12 from the recovery
mode and logged again.
- forcing to use modesetting without using "glamor" (because my
graphic card is not compatible) doing: "sudoedit
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf" and putting inside one of these
2 options:
1. Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "modesetting"
Option "AccelMethod" "none"
EndSection
2. Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
When I typed the first option (modesetting one) at the reboot the
computer's performance drastically deteriorated to the point that no
applications would open on kde, not even the "start" menu.
To turn off the computer I had to press the physical button.
When I typed the second option (vesa one) at the reboot I had,
before the login, a black screen with this row: "[FAILED] Failed to
start lightdm.service - Light Display Manager."
- Modifying sources.list to put Debian 11 repos in order to install
the old xserver-xorg-video-intel driver. I removed from the
synaptic: xserver-xorg-video-intel of Debian 12 and
xserver-xorg-core of Debian 12. Then I did a sudo apt update, and
"sudo apt install -t bullseye xserver-xorg-video-intel
xserver-xorg-core". This procedure removed xcvt too.
At the reboot I could see the login interface but my keyboard was
off, my mouse was on but couldn't move and the input box was
lightning but then freezed itself and I think all my pc.
So from the recovery mode I installed xserver-xorg-input-all of
Debian 12 with: "sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-all" and I was
in able to login from the past login interface at the reboot.
But the red and grey screen continued to be there.
Waiting for your updates and I'm here for all of your doubts about!

Please if you want other details visit the thread of the forum too
because it is difficult to me tell you everything in details and in
a summary.
