Hmm, yes, please, ignore my ignorance: are there T21s with less/more
resolution? I've got a T21 with 1024x768, here's what XFree86 says
about it:

(II) SAVAGE(0): VESA BIOS detected
(--) SAVAGE(0): Chip: id 8c12, "Savage/IX-MV"
(--) SAVAGE(0): Engine: "MobileSavage"
(--) SAVAGE(0): mapping MMIO @ 0xf1000000 with size 0x80000
(==) SAVAGE(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
(--) SAVAGE(0): probed videoram:  8192k
...
(II) SAVAGE(0): I2C bus "I2C bus" initialized.
(II) SAVAGE(0): I2C device "I2C bus:ddc2" registered.
(II) SAVAGE(0): I2C device "I2C bus:ddc2" removed.
(--) SAVAGE(0): Detected current MCLK value of 100.227 MHz
(--) SAVAGE(0): 1024x768 TFT LCD panel detected and active
(--) SAVAGE(0): - Limiting video mode to 1024x768
