Mr. Dave!!! Youdaman!!
First I commented out that line and nothing changed.
Then I changed it to:
vid_control_params brightness=100,contrast=100,saturation=100,hue=100
And now I have a picture! Quite saturated and quite colorful. But at
least it isn't gray!
Thank you, my friend. I wish I had asked this question yesterday before
spending the hours that I did on this.

Thanks for the response.
I fiddled with that yesterday and finally commented it out altogether.
Evidently motion is going to do that check whether it's specified or not.
It also only applies to net cams and not web cams.
Mr. Dave put me on the right track.
I changed vid_control_params to:
vid_control_params brightness=100,contrast=100,saturation=100,hue=100
And now I have a picture. Now to adjust all those parameters until I get
them where they're supposed to be.
Regards.
