That's the kicker, there's absolutely no error in vidmode. Here's my
~/.config/redshift.conf:
; Global settings
[redshift]
temp-day=6500
temp-night=3800
transition=1
gamma=1.0
;location-provider=manual
adjustment-method=vidmode
; The location provider and adjustment method settings
; are in their own sections.
;[manual]
;lat=44.42
;lon=26.10
; In this example screen 1 is adjusted by vidmode. Note
; that the numbering starts from 0, so this is actually
; the second screen.
[vidmode]
screen=0

Here's the same output forcing randr mode:

Manually setting a temperature:
christopher@dissentio:~$ redshift -v -O 3700K

None of this is really showing any errors and it simply doesn't adjust the
color of the screen. It also won't adjust the brightness if I use that
setting.
