I've had issues with devmon not updating the bb-display and everything going purple. I've had this issue since day one (which is over two years now).
I created a "devmon watchdog" script that's runs every 5 min using lynx (txt base html browser) which checks if the status of devmon (shows as dm test) on bb-monitor. If its purple then I kill the devmon process and start it up again....band-aid solution, but it does the trick.
I no script expert, but can share the bash script if you want/need.
