      1 dws - a new DRM-based window system
      2 ----------------------------------------
      3 dws is a new DRM-based window system in order to replace the obsolete X
      4 Window System and to provide a modern and frugal window system on DRM-capable
      5 Unices, such as Linux.
      6 
      7 
      8 Requirements
      9 ------------
     10 In order to build dws you need the DRM header files (usually part of the
     11 linux kernel header files).
     12 
     13 
     14 Installation
     15 ------------
     16 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dws is installed into
     17 the /usr/local namespace by default).
     18 
     19 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dws
     20 (if necessary as root):
     21 
     22     make clean install
     23 
     24 
     25 Running dws
     26 ----------------
     27 Make sure you have setup DRM in your kernel settings being usable and make sure
     28 that you have a proper mode setup for the given screens you drive with DRM.
     29 Details on these vary on different platforms and we will extend the manual
     30 accordingly in the future.
     31 
     32 There is also a legacy dws port on top of X11, which we only recommend for
     33 trying.
