In my experience, you do need an adapter with dip switches if you connect a PC-style VGA monitor to a beige desktop Mac, but what you are trying to do is the other way around so your adapter should work. My present desktop Mac is a heavily upgraded beige G3 minitower running MacOS X 10.1.5, and it has a Sony PC monitor indeed connected with an adapter with dip switches. The computer works great except for some quirks restarting back into MacOS 9 due to the fact that it is G4-upgraded and Apple doesn't like you to upgrade processors. No big deal as I never use MacOS 9 on this machine. Well, some more thoughts: you didn't mention whether you rebuilt the desktop file. I did a search on the Apple support site and found a very interesting document by name "AppleVision, ColorSync Displays: Basic Troubleshooting". I would give you the exact URL but it's too long and looks like gibberish, so I saved it as a PDF file and took the liberty of e-mailing it to you offlist. It mentions a whole lot of troubleshooting tips I've never heard of like restarting holding command-option-A-V. It also mentions that the AppleVision software is included in MacOS 8.6, but no mention whether it is included or it is compatible with MacOS 9. You do need to install AppleVision 1.7.1 only if you have MacOS 8.0-8.5.1.
