No.  And you will not find anyone who has experience with Xsight and
high-res displays either.  The reason is they are not supported.  
SCO is not even supporting 800x600.  Standard VGA resolution is all you
get.  The next release is supposed to support 800x600, but I do not
have a release date for that yet.  I would be happy if I could just get
the Xsight development system that I ordered over 4 months ago!!

Just make sure if you use the 3D and a VGA card that the card does 
1024x768 interlaced.  I have a 3D which is interlaced and a VRAM card
which is non-interlaced.  Needless to say, they don't like each other 
very well at high resolutions.
