I ended up with something like 909x640 resolution, but I'll take it :) So far, as far as I know, the only way anyone has X running on the A21p is by using the A21m config file. Bizarrely, the 21m is 1400xsomething, but its file produces 1600x1200 (full resolution) on the p--*unless* you switch the label to reflect that, in which case it just doesn't work. Thanks greatly.
