No, I'm afraid I can't. There are some dependencies for special display
drivers (ppdev, libusb, X11, libgd, ...) but that depends on which
display you wanna use.

Most of the dependencies should be detetcted by autoconf, it shoud
deactivate drivers and plugins whose dependencies are not fulfilled.

I' suggest you download lcd4linux, try a 'configure --with-drivers=<your
driver>' (e.g. 'HD44780') and see what happens.

If you have any further questions, please let us know!

I'd be glad if you could summarize your experiences (and maybe a
'microhowto') about lcd4linux on smoothwall in the wiki!


bye, Michael
