Well, after the 10th or so freezeup, I decided to check the secondary
HD from within OS9 (which has NO problems with this 17" monitor, or
my 13" ones) using Disk First Aid. Unfortunately, it came up with
problems which First Aid couldn't fix, so I simply selected to erase
the secondary HD, and am reinstalling 10.2 onto it as we speak. I
doubt that I'll update the OS much, maybe just to 10.2.6 as has been
suggested. First, I'll see how well 10.2 behaves without any major
updates.

Hmmm. I've had problems with the monitor going black during a 10.2
install on just about every beige I've tried (5 machines, multiple
hard drives) UNLESS i put in a stripped down version: No extra fonts,
no additional languages, no printers, nothing but BSD and stuffit
expander. I'm using them as servers, so I don't really need any of
that stuff anyway. It seems to hang (for me) when it tries to go to
Disk 2.
I don't know how easy it is to add that stuff back in after doing a
basic install, but if it's like any other OS installation it would be
a minor thing to do.
I've also had no luck using a small monitor with any X install (I
can't say I've tried too hard) so I only use my one remaining 15" for
OS 9 and earlier machines.
As is probably obvious by now, YMMV.

I'm having this same problem Bill as I'm trying to use a small 9" SVGA
PC monitor for my print and file servers. It works fine with the PC,
but I get multiple images from the Mac. Does anyone know how to set
the switches on the ADC/VGA adapter so I can use this small monitor
with my Mac? I've always used a 15" monitor before with this adapter
and it works fine, but I know there is a way to switch the switches to
allow use with other sized monitors.
Just a message from Doug...
P.S. Has anyone else experienced any problems posting to the list
today? For some reason mine were being rejected earlier for no good
reason that I could determine.
