ptxdist also supports cmake for your projects.

Have you checked of the driver is included in the 2.6.30 kernel.

Do something like this:

a) use the latest kernel, hope the driver is included
b) ask on the arm linux kernel mailinglist what happed to the LCD driver
c) hire someone to do the porting
d) do it yourself:
   clone a git kernel from kernel.org
   create a branch based on 2.6.20
   apply the vendor patch
   split the patch into LCD driver and the rest
   checkout a branch based on the latest stable kernel
   cherry pick the LCD drvier from the 2.6.20 branch
   hack the driver
   make it compile
   hack the driver
   make it boot
   hack the driver
   make it display something
   hack the driver
   cleanup the patch
   rebase to linux master
   send the patch upstream to the arm linux kernel mailinglist
   hack the driver until it's accepted upstream

cheers, Marc
