i'm useing my madness gameware vga adaptor ($15) on an old acer acerview 11D (probably a 13-14" with a max res of 800*600) and it works flawlessly, i even burned Quake dc to support it (you need to do a little change with one of the files before you burn it) and the olny game to not work with it (besides the utopia boot cd) is king of fighters dreamatch 99' (from snk, a 2d fighter) of course it doesn't mention support for the vga adaptor for that game anyway 🙂 I think the dreamcast will always run in vga mode at 640*480 @ 60hz (i believe that's the right refresh rate) game indepenant. My monitor has alot of pins missing, but i know that it was made that way, maybe a pin broke off of your monitor? does it work fine on a computer (try 640*480 at the lowest refresh you can, hopefully 60hz)
oh, there is a pin on monitors that controlls the hz setting, that could be the one possibly broken
