+Welcome to LISA System's
+
+ QDM - the Login-Dialog for QPE
+
+
+WHAT'S THIS:
+
+This small add-on for the Qtopia Environment (QPE - see
+http://qpe.sourceforge.net for further details) allows You to use your
+handheld computer running QPE and Linux with the typical Un*x user
+handling, i.e. just log in on a graphical environment, as e.g. KDM or
+XDM. This way your personal data can be easily protected against
+unwanted access from others in case you loose your machine.
+
+
+STATUS:
+
+Still in development, but should be useable.
+
+
+REQUIREMENTS:
+
+- QDM needs Linux-PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux) for
+ proper user validation.
+
+- the /dev/fb0 device has to writeable to everyone ;-(
+
+
+INSTALLATION:
+
+Per default this little add-on is not enabled. You have to do so
+yourself for now, by setting a compile option variable called
+QT_QWS_LOGIN . Furthermore there have to be made some changes in
+taskbar/taskbar.pro :
+
+At the section HEADERS insert a line:
+ ../login/qdmdialogimpl.h \
+
+At the section SOURCES insert a line:
+ ../login/qdmdialogimpl.cpp \
+
+furthermore serte these lines:
+
+INCLUDEPATH += ../login
+DEPENDPATH += ../login
+
+INTERFACES = ../login/qdmdialog.ui
+
+For unix-login make folloing changes to a line:
+LIBS = -lqpe -lcrypt
+
+For PAM use the following:
+LIBS = -lqpe -ldl -lpam
+
+
+
+CONFIGURATION:
+
+Configuration of the 'Look' of QDM is done via Qt Designer. Just open
+the .ui file and edit the look of the dialog as you like. You can, for
+instance, change the logo pixmap. QDM should also be ready for i18n so
+far.
+
+Other configuration stuff, eg welcome string in the upper right, and
+user list can be changed in the qdm_config.h file.
+
+
+USAGE:
+
+The QDM comes up, when the QPE is started, and if the QPE is started
+as 'root'. Being started as any other user, the uid couldn't be
+changed and the login dialog wouldn't be ofg much use.
