I bought a 22" Samsung display plugged it in out of the box with my G4 Gigabit/ATI RAgePro with 16MB. Never have had a problem.
I think you've got a problem and you just don't know it. The problem is that you don't get any Quartz Extreme or Core Graphics acceleration, so if you're using Tiger 10.4+, your graphics are literally crawling slow compared to what is possible. If you're stuck in MacOS 9.x you're probably OK since you'll have a matched set of antiquated OS & video card.
If this were my Gigabit I'd be looking for at least a Radeon card that supports Quartz Extreme, and perhaps something that supports Core Graphics also, such as an nVidia GeForce FX5200 or 6200. A flashed PC card would be cheap, and could do wonders for any Gigabit running Tiger 10.4+.
