Maybe I missed the point, but I run v1.2 of XWindows with my ISC v2.2 right
now. This is the version with the 256 color VGA XWindows support, and it
works fine with my specific card. I understand you have an ATI card (of
which, I have no idea what chipset is on the card) which may not be supported,
but I can assure you that my v1.2 works with ISC v2.2.....

For $50 I got the "update" for X; it was the entire set, not really an upgrade,
so this must have been the difference; agreed??
