as stated before, trying another monitor is the best first step that you can take.
it sounds like the monitor is on its way out (if not out already..). check the monitor cable though and make sure that it is plugged in securley. since you dont have another monitor yet you might as well check to see if any of the wires in the cable are broken. you can do this with a voltage tester or another similiar device if you have one available.
i can say however that it does really seem like its the monitor, not your video card.
oh another thing, i dont know how much effect it could have on it, but make sure that the monitor is grounded properly.

omega(6) Games Manual omega(6)
NAME
omega - a hack-style game with quests.
SYNOPSIS
omega [save file]
DESCRIPTION
omega is a complex rogue-style game of dungeon exploration. Unlike other such games, there are a number of ways to "win", depending on
various actions taken during play. The ways you can get your name on the hiscore board include becoming the highest ranked head of a guild,
sect, college, etc., as well as gaining the most points figured from possessions and experience. The game (via the oracle) may impose some
structure on your exploration, but you need not follow all of the oracle's advice. There *is* a "total winner" status, by the way.
If the save file is not specified, omega gives the player the choice of generating a random character, or playing themselves, doing a short
quiz to determine an approximation of their abilities. If the save file is given, omega will restore that save file, and if successful,
the save file is deleted. Note that some installations of omega compress the save file, using either compress(1) or gzip(1) - if this is
the case, and you have a save file that is uncompressed (such files are generated by omega if it receives a signal during play, for exam-
ple), you can compress it (with compress(1) or gzip(1)) and remove the .Z or .gz extension. Alternatively, you may simply run with the
uncompressed save file - this will not affect the game in any way, but takes more disk space between games.
omega offers a richness of playing detail that goes beyond a simple game like rogue. However, the majority of gameplay is very similar to
rogue, hack, ultrarogue, larn, and other such games. The player is represented by the highlighted "@" symbol, objects and terrain features
are represented by non-alphabetic symbols, monsters are represented by the various upper and lower case letters, and other humans are rep-
resented by a non-highlighted "@".
omega currently consists of a countryside in which are sited a city, various villages, several dungeons, and some "special" sites, such as
the temples of the various priesthoods. The game starts in the city of Rampart, where all the guilds have headquarters. As a dungeon is
explored, all generated levels are saved in memory. However, only one dungeon is "remembered" at a time, so if you enter two dungeons, the
first will be forgotten (it will be regenerated should you wish to enter it again). However, if a dungeon is "completed", this fact will be
remembered, basically meaning that the unique monster at the bottom will not be regenerated if you've killed it already.
