* X11
thanks to Herbert Rosmanith <herp@wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at> a driver for the
X Window System is available. It supports any size at any resolution. A very
small XLCD4Linux-Window can even swallow on the KDE Panel!
+
* Raster formats:
a generic raster driver (which is used by the X11-driver, too) is availiable,
PPM (portable pixmap) is the only output format at the moment. I'm working
on PNG!
+
* other displays: lcd4linux and especially the display driver code is very modular,
so it should be quite easy to write a driver for any display. See README.driver
for details. Contributors are welcome!!!
