 ATest has Q2C11 firmware. Build 451, 445, and 444 were booted from a 512MB
 USB flash key. Not booting from onboard flash because flashing Linux
 images have not been successful on this ATest board. However, booting
 image from USB flash key works well.

 Build 451 (olpc-redhat-stream-development-
 build-451-20070608_0733-devel_ext3.img.bz2    ) did not boot. OFW screen
 froze. Serial port console gave the following message:

 Okay, get an earlier image to check.

 External monitor reported "Video mode not supported".

 Solution: Using serial port console, change "1200x900" to "1024x768" in
 /etc/X11/xorg.conf and comment out "cp -f /dev/X11/geode-xorg.conf
 /etc/X11/xorg.conf" in /etc/init.d/olpc-configure for X-window to start
 properly on an external 1024x768 monitor/ATest board.

 Sugar, Journal, TamTam, Etoys, TurtleArt, developer console, X-window, and
 twm are working. USB mouse, USB keyboard, serial port console, and ALSA
 sound are working. Noticed that Etoys has a new scale mode which is useful
 for readjusting for 1024x768. TurtleArt is new (as it is not present in
 Build 406).

 This ATest board with 5V transformer consumes ~6W.
