We use eXceed under W2K and I'm far from happy with it. You've presumably
got around their wonderful requirement of needing Administrator privilege
to run Exceed.
But that's another story...

What screen colour depth do you have your PC display set to, and what are
the errors you are getting in relation to colour maps? IDL requires either
an 8 bit PsuedoColor or 24 bit TrueColor X visual (although I've heard
rumours that 5.5 supports 16 bit colour). What does the command xdpyinfo
tell you about the X display?
