I'm running XF 4.0.2 on my A21p (right now!), and it (about 99%) works. I got my configuration from http://www.slimy.com/~pixel/a21p.html (A friend's page). My very similar notes are at: http://slimy.com/~jleonard/config/index.html Getting the FB console working was an important first step, complicated by the fact that vga=ask doesn't accept the 885 mode, but that vga=885 in lilo.conf does work.
