How long are you waiting for the X CD to load? My monitor (21" AppleVision) won't even come on for ages when trying to boot any X disks, then out of the clear blue everything starts up. I too am using a G3/233 DT, and G3/233 MT. Remember that our G3's are pushing the limit to even run X. Try booting again from the X CD, put a paper weight on the "C" key, and leave the room for another project. It sounds like your monitor has issues when there is no signal from the computer, but that it is not broken.
