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

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.
