I tried software rendering as David suggested and I see my colors again.
I'm glad to know that I'm not going crazy. :-)
During my IDL hiatus, I did upgrade the kernel on my machine a couple of
times. Previously the stock driver had worked, but I'll download and
install the latest the drivers from the manufacturer. That's probably
better anyway. Thanks!
