Hello.  I just installed ISC 2.2.  The "X Window System System Diskette
Version 1.2 (I believe)" did not have drivers for ISC 2.2, but only for
2.0.2.  The installation program asked me if I wanted to use the available
drivers, to which I said 'Yes'.  Anyway, everything set up and X-Windows
works fine in vanilla VGA (640x480) mode.  However, I have an OEM ATI VGA
board, and whenever I configure the server for the ATI card, the display
just shows a bunch of flickering garbage.  My ATI card works in high resolution
with Open Desktop, Microsoft Windows, and all other programs with specific
support for ATI, but not with ISC.  Has anyone got the ISC-ATI combination to
work?  Please help.
