Yes. I am.
But Mr. Dave's suggestion seems to have done the trick.
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.
Thanks for the response.

Great that you have resolved your original issue. Now also check your
area_detect as I suspect it is not working as you expect
Change:
area_detect value 456789
To:
area_detect 456789

stream_maxrate has default value "1". How could it be ignored?
"stream_motion on" will force FPS to 1 only when there is no active event.
During the event framerate will increase to the one specified in maxrate
I'd suggest you to try to troubleshoot your original issue. Motion should
stream 1 fps by default
