It sounds like the monitor is simply about to die.
I use an absolutely-plain monochrome VGA monitor on my multia
which will only do the standard text and 640x480, and that works
just fine.
Only the SRM screen (which uses quite a high resolution) won't
be displayed. In milo, ARC, and linux itself there's no problem.
