I have a 333 MHz beige B3 minitower, 384 MB RAM, running OS 9.2.2 and OS
X ver. 10.2.6 in separate drive partitions. Monitor is a Samtron 77V
supporting resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz. and connected to the
monitor output with an adapter. Everything had been working fine.

When I tried to boot into OS X today I got a "Sync. Out of range"
message on the monitor. Apparently the system is set to a
resolution/frequency which the monitor does not support. There is no
problem when using OS9 or when booting from the Jaguar install disk
(except that it can only do a full install).

Is there some way that I can correct this problem without having to get
my hands on a monitor which will support the current setting or
completely reinstalling the system??

Have you tried booting into X with the shift key depressed?
This may allow accessing the monitor settings once the desktop opens.

I've noticed that when I boot my system with my monitor turned *off*
the system gets really confused about what sort of monitor it is, and
defaults to 640*480. Rebooting your machine with your monitor off
might put the system into a state where it will put out a signal that
your monitor will accept.
