-* X11: not available now, but on top of my ToDo-List!
+* 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
