subject: monochrome color?!

This monitor started acting a bit weird on my a while back,  it was
starting to intermittently lose the blue,  giving all of my text a rather
odd tint...

We were away for a couple of days,  and last night when I came back it was
even stranger.  Something prompted me to wiggle the video cable at the back
of the computer,  and now all I have are gray and white.  No color at all.

I'm also looking at some very odd effects when things are supposed to be
highlighted,  etc.

Anybody run into this one before?  I suppose the next step is to see if the
problem resides in the monitor or the video card.  The card is that same
Compaq that's given me grief in other applications,  sold to me as a 2M
card but I never could get any system to see more than 1M on it.

Comments?
