I'm having the same problems.  800x600 mode works fine under DOS, but
under ISC X11 I get garbage.  I swapped in a friends ATI wonder with the
same results, so I don't think it's the card.

The interesting thing is that I found an ATI wonder which works in 800x600
mode.  The difference is that the one that works has a mouse interface
(mine doesn't), and the VGA BIOS proms on mine are version 4.0, and the
other board has older proms (3.?M -- I can't remember the exact version).

I think ATI has changed something on their board that ISC doesn't know
about yet.
