The XFree86 v4.0.1 server drives the A21P at 1400x<something> under Linux - I couldn't get the full 1600x1200 that Win2K could get (which looks gorgeous). However see other threads about FreeBSD and current IBM laptop/BIOS/partition type code issues... I've replaced my order for A21P's with Gateway 9300's. They aren't quite as nice but it's an easier install :-) Hopefully Gateway will not have changed their BIOS since I've type-qualified one of them...
