1400x1050 screen.  (Sure, you could just get an Inspiron with the
screen, but the A20p has a better video chip, lighter, and sturdier.)

Actually, accelerated X is working... ATI has been funding the r128
driver development and while the mobility stuff isn't completely
working yet (you need to boot with vesafb to get the resolution set
right) it's definately fast.
