I had an old g3 at one point with os 9 on it. When I put X on, the monitor freaked out, went black and I was sure it was a gonner. Then I checked around a bit, and found that I needed to update the firmware.
I put the X install cd/dvd (don't remember) back in after hooking up a different monitor and updated the firmware. The firmware update is on the cd and it tells you to install it if you read the documentation that comes with it. At least it did back then.
Anyway, after updating the firmware and maybe a reinstall (don't remember) the monitor worked again like new and I never had another problem with it.
Anyway, what I'm saying is that you're probably experiencing what I did. Not an easy fix, but if you can get your hands on a second monitor and know your way around the hardware a bit, you can get it working again. I was able to anyway.
