the exact same thing happens to me under os9.1! you are not the only one.
however, i have no idea why it happens. does your screen take on a greenish
tint when this happens? mine does.

Subject: Twin Turbo Display Res Problem
I have a PTP with a PowerPC G3 445 Mz running Mac 9.2.2. I have a IMS
tt128mb Twin Turbo PCI Display Card. WIth a Sony Multiscan Display.
Whenever I reboot or just restart the machine - I lose my screen
resolution and the monitors control panel reverts to 640x480 resolution
and has no other selectable resolutions available (same story with
TwinTurbo Control panel). I then must delete my display preferences
file, and restart over and over again to get the resolution options to
show up again so I can get it back to 1024x768 (which I prefer to use).
Zapping the pram doesn't seem to work help or hinder the process.
Perhaps machine doesn't recognise the PCI card on these dud startups.
Any suggestions for a work around - I can't believe I'm the only one
being driven mad by this. MacOS 8.6 didn't seem to do this to me or
perhaps only occasssionally.Thanks, Doug

Check out the PowerComputing List archives. As I recall, there were several posts and suggested solutions for the Green Screen anomaly.
