We had the same problem with 5.5 on linux.
Try using truecolor instead of directcolor
visuals:
device,true_color=24
It solved the problem for us...
Cheers,
Paolo

The above command is best for portability, but you can achieve the same
thing by adding the following lines to your ~/.Xdefaults file or to the
system wide $RSI_DIR/idl/resource/X11/lib/app-defaults/Idl file.
Idl.gr_visual: TrueColor
Idl.gr_depth: 24
There are some more details here:
