>**EVERY** description of the A2024 I've seen said: 1008x800.

That's the original AmigaOS configuration, but not a monitor limitation.  The
Hedley monitors can support up to 1024x800 with 60Hz refresh or 1024x1024 with
50Hz refresh.  1008 is the maximum size of a 512K Agnus blit, which explains
that number.  If you're not using the blitter (X under UNIX does not use the
blitter) or if you have an ECS blitter (all A3000s do, the maximum blit there
is around 32K), 1024 is the Hedley-limited number.
