dircolors is not there...
Try installing it... I'm sorry but I don't know what rpm is will be in. Try google.

I'm not sure that the dircolors problem is actually related to your monitor, since all dircolors does is set up colours for the "ls" command. The monitor problem could be anything really, APM? Xscreesaver? A badly configured X server?
