resurrection!
Aparently the monitor hadn't died—only fainted.
I left it plugged in but not otherwise connected to anything; would stop by at intervals, switch it on, stab front panel buttons, gloomily ponder replacement options. At about the third go-around, half a day after the original failure, the lights came back on. Go figure.

And then, on the Third Try, my monitor was resurrected!
Hallelujah, Brothers!

The third one burned down, fell over, and THEN sank...
... into the swamp. But the FOURTH one... the FOURTH one stayed UP!

Hurrah for LCD!
I'm never having a CRT monitor again.
I'm seriously smitten by this here Dell 1800FP. It's big! It's square! Image geometry is perfect! Super-exacto-sharp! It's absolutely flicker free! And it's SMALL! It's 20 centimetres deep, instead of the 60-80 centimetres an equivalent sized CRT display would be; and it consumes a LOT less power.

One issue
Flicker-freedom is at the expense of slow-reponse pixels. For rapid frame rates you can't beat a CRT.

That's going away
LCDs are getting faster; I've certainly not been hindered in my gaming exploits by the refresh rate of the FP1800. (It's about 25ms, IIRC. GIYF.)

One exclamation point is always sufficient, Greg.
This isn't AOL, despite the best efforts of a nameless few.
Consider yourself instructed.

Green screen
Sounds like a power management issue. Because ACPI was invented on the planet Stooge by evil dwarves, sometimes devices go to sleep and don't wake up.
