    Has anyone tried out the X server for Symbolics' from ILA?
    I played around with an early version at my Symbolics rep's
    and was disappointed. It seemed pretty buggy.

Yes, I bought it and have tried it, and I would probably have been less
charitable than you.  It's pretty hard to believe they call it a product.  E.g.
causing an xterm to scroll by typing carriage return will crash the server.

    Does anyone know of any other Xservers for LispM's?

A (research) group in TI has been working on one for the Explorer, but there is
no claim about it ever being a product or even being available externally, that
I know of.
