If you wish + to use other drivers or cross compile, check build-dpf-lcd4linux.sh + for configure options + +* Note: For lcd4linux, you may want to have some development libraries + installed, for example: + libgd2-noxpm-dev -- to display images + +* Build the stuff using "make all". You need an internet connection. because + lcd4linux is pulled from their server. + +* Try it: + > cd lcd4linux; lcd4linux -f ../dpf.conf -F + +NOTE: The orientation for the Pearl type display was changed (Details, see +Changelog) DO NOT INSTALL if you wish to keep your landscape orientation. +Later, we'll make this configureable, if there turns out to be a good +solution (there currently isn't). + +The source for this firmware is not yet included. Please don't ask +questions when it will be released, it will happen, once we have a fully +fool proof and working firmware including boot loader support (if you can +help there, let us know). + +Also note: NO SUPPORT! NO WARRANTY! FRIENDS DON'T MAKE FRIENDS HACK THEIR +DPF! LET ALONE NON-FRIENDS!
