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. -- +-------------------+----------------------+---------------------------------+ | JERRY J.

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?? +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Brandon Brown | Internet: brando@uicsl.csl.uiuc.edu | | Coordinated Science Laboratory | UUCP: uiucuxc!addamax!brando!brown | | University of Illinois | CompuServe: 73040,447 | | Urbana, IL 61801 | GEnie: xmg23356, macbrando | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
