I've been told that SCO's X windows for Xenix 386 will support EGA and
VGA (I think they said CGA as well, but I can't remember). I'd doubt
that in the first release it would support any of the funky
non-standard VGA modes some cards may do. Given SCO's previous
willingness to hack up new device drivers I wouldn't be surprised if
they supported this sort of thing later, though. [This is only idle
speculation on my part]

Apparently it's supposed to be available sometime in 1st quarter, but a sales
person at SCO told me not to expect it till April, at least.
