olpc-redhat-stream-development build-193-20061203_1727-devel_ext3.img qemu 0.8.1-1 Debian etch (testing) Boots into GUI, but no keyboard or mouse before "modprobe i8042" several times (!) on the serial console (Ctrl-Alt-3).
olpc-redhat-stream-development build-183-20061116_1824-devel_ext3.img Qemu 0.8.1, from Debian's repository Acer Aspire AMD 1.8 Ghz 1GB RAM; Debian etch (testing); Linux 2.6.17-2-k7; Boots into the GUI and works fine. Is not 100% responsive, but it's expected. To be able to view the entire eToys screen, had to edit the Grub boot entry and change the display size to vga=0x317 To_be_created
olpc-redhat-stream-development build-182-20061114_2135-devel_ext3.img Qemu 0.6.2 from Debian Sarge Dual-cpu AMD Athlon MP, 1GHz; Debian Sarge; 2.6.11-1-k7-smp Boots into GUI and works OK, using apm=off. Slow. Had to edit Grub boot entry; the image already handled the suggested xorg.conf fix. John Gilmore
