Booting ATest board with external monitor

I got 182 to work with an older kernel (I used 2.6.18-20061106.3.olpc. 
6a94be8adce907b from #155) and a patched /etc/init.d/olpc-configure  
script. The latter erroneously detects a DCON which I do not actually  
have on my A-test board, and overwrites the good xorg.conf with the  
DCON variant.

Glad to hear that a new linuxbios would allow to use the later kernel.
