BBB-RevC: Problem with Colours in Graphical User Interface
To anyone if may concern,
I have come across a problem with the colours in a couple of graphical user interfaces, installed on Arch Linux ARM, running on an revision C Beagle Bone Black. The problem is that a couple of colours are swapped. For example normally the Mozilla Firefox logo is an orange fox and an blue globe, in this cases it is an blue fox and an orange globe. Does it ever look weird. This is the case with both XFCE and LXQt. This problem has been reported before under different circumstances, please see the following links:

I have tried the solution provided in the second link. I entered the following command in the terminal as root "pacman -R xrdp". This returned the following error "target not found: xrdp".
Below I have provided information about my Beagle Bone Black system. I have also provided an photo and an screen shot. It is interesting, when I take a screen shot and view it on another computer the colours are fine. It is not a problem with the display that I am using.
