I am posting this because a similar question came up about a week ago.
Very simply: You can't use a VGA card with any 2.2 SCO XENIX release
designed for AT machines. We added VGA support to the 2.3 release of
XENIX. 2.2.3 has been reported to work with a few VGA cards if they
are set in EGA mode: there used to be a SLS (xnx086) to add support
for the IBM VGA card and compatibles, but it's been discontinued.
I tell you three times: If you want to use a VGA card with SCO XENIX,
get the 2.3 release. Discounted upgrades from 2.2 to 2.3 are
available: contact your provider for details.
I hope this helps remove some of the confusion.
