What's the deal with VGA adapters?

I didn't get to play with NetBSD on my DC yet, but have encountered some
number of games that don't play nice with the VGA adapter (DC just says
that the AV cable can't be used and asks me to replace it). This happens
with games that don't have the "supports VGA" label (like Dino Crisis and
Resident Evil 4/Code: Veronica), but I've also found one game (Resident
Evil 3) that *has* the "supports VGA" label and still doesn't work w/ my
"Blaze" VGA adapter. I also have trouble getting the VGA adapter to work
with a relatively good VGA monitor (goes 1600x1280 with no sweat), while
it works fine on an older model and a TFT model (saying it uses 640x480,
31kHz, 60Hz). Has anyone seen this before?

I'll get an old Amiga monitor and a Scarc cable next, the VGA support
seems to be suboptimal in the games corner... :(
