No video at boot with a Quicksilver 2002

Hey folks. I've got a G4 with a geforce4mx in it, running jaguar.

About every other time it boots, the monitor will be out of sync (no video, just a "i won't do that refresh rate" message).

The computer DDC's the monitor fine after it's been shift-rebooted, and there are no other issues with the system .. it sleeps and wakes up properly, runs screamin' fast, etc., etc. The monitor is a Dell 17" something.

I can work around it by booting with shift down, then restarting again, but that's really irritating (and slow!) .. anybody got any advice?

Specs:
quicksilver 2002 dual 1ghz g4 - geforce 4 mx - big ass hdd - 1/2 gb ram - superdrive - apple keybd - logitech wireless mousie - nothing special installed .. Jaguar build 6C115.

It must be related to the Dell monitor some how, my 17" Apple LCD with the same exact system (even the same mouse) is trouble-free, as expected.
 
Hmm .. you could be right. I'll see changing the monitor helps at all.
Beyond that, I guess I'll reboot a lot ... :D
