My graphics driver

What could be wrong?

You are probably seeing this (#20) kind of problem. I have this same problem on all my machines now. (with multiple different graphics cards, intel, amd) xrandr-invert-colors doesn't work on them any more. Neither does xcalib -i -a which I used before xrandr-invert-colors (which I swtiched to so I could invert single displays in a multi display set).

I can no longer invert any of the screens on any of my machines.

Try xcalib -i -a and see if you can get it to work as a troubleshooting step.

Yes, xcalib is also not working for me. I have also asked on the xcalib repo about the same few weeks back...[ https://github.com/OpenICC/xcalib/issues/12 ] and also here [ https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/688865/240484 ]

It's too bad this does not work anymore as I used this feature a lot...

me too, I spend a few hours, every time something reminds me about it, to get it to work "somehow", *ANY* way.

I noticed that redshift works, but I think it only uses xrandr to change the gamma and the contrast, but since I no longer have any machine that inverting works on, I can't even see what good values in xcalib look like.
