Do I just hunt down for the Display Preferences in my User Library and
trash
it to re-establish normal behavior?
ColorSync preferences are stored in several locations, and those
locations have changed over the course of MacOSX since it's infancy.
What follows is an incantion to toss all prefs that might conceivably
be on your system from older versions of MacOSX, so don't worry if some
of these return a message saying "file not found".
To toss all your ColorSync related prefs enter this in Terminal:
sudo su (hit return, enter an admin password, then paste in the
following lines)
rm /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPref*
rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ColorSync*
cd ~
rm Library/Preferences/.GlobalPref*
rm Library/Preferences/com.apple.ColorSync*
rm Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPref*
rm Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.ColorSync*
rm Library/Preferences/ColorSync*
Then restart your computer.
