+
+    \title Deploying Qt for Embedded Linux Applications
+    \ingroup qt-embedded-linux
+
+    The procedure of deploying an Qt application on \l{Qt for Embedded Linux}
+    is essentially the same as the deployment procedure on X11 platforms
+    which is described in detail in the \l {Deploying an Application
+    on X11 Platforms} documentation. See also the \l {Deploying Qt
+    applications}{general remarks} about deploying Qt applications.
+
+    In addition, there is a couple of Qt for Embedded Linux specific issues to
+    keep in mind:
+
+    \tableofcontents
+
+    \section1 Fonts
+
+    When Qt for Embedded Linux applications run, they look for a file called
+    \c fontdir in Qt's \c /lib/fonts/ directory defining the
+    fonts that are available to the application (i.e. the fonts
+    located in the mentioned directory).
+
+    For that reason, the preferred fonts must be copied to the \c
+    /lib/fonts/ directory, and the \c fontdir file must be customized
+    accordingly.  See the \l {Qt for Embedded Linux Fonts}{fonts} documentation
+    for more details about the supported font formats.
+
+    Note that the application will look for the \c /lib/fonts/
+    directory relative to the path set using the \c -prefix parameter
+    when running the \c configure script; ensure that this is a
+    sensible path in the target device environment. See the \l
+    {Installing Qt for Embedded Linux#Step 3: Building the
+    Library}{installation} documentation for more details.
+
+    \section1 Environment Variables
+
+    In general, any variable value that differs from the provided
+    default values must be set explicitly in the target device
+    environment.  Typically, these include the QWS_MOUSE_PROTO,
+    QWS_KEYBOARD and QWS_DISPLAY variables specifying the drivers for
+    pointer handling, character input and display management,
+    respectively.
+
+    For example, without the proper mouse and keyboard drivers, there
+    is no way to give any input to the application when it is
+    installed on the target device. By running the \c configure script
+    using the \c -qt-kbd-<keyboarddriver> and \c
+    -qt-mouse-<mousedriver> options, the drivers are enabled, but in
+    addition the drivers and the preferred devices must be specified
+    as the ones to use in the target environment, by setting the
+    environment variables.
+
+    See the \l{Qt for Embedded Linux Pointer Handling}{pointer handling},
+    \l{Qt for Embedded Linux Character Input}{character input} and
+    \l{Qt for Embedded Linux Display Management}{display management}
+    documentation for more information.
+
+    \section1 Framebuffer Support
+
+    No particular actions are required to enable the framebuffer on
+    target devices: The Linux framebuffer is enabled by default on all
+    modern Linux distributions. For information on older versions, see
+    \l http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO.html.
+
+    To test that the Linux framebuffer is set up correctly, and that
+    the device permissions are correct, use the program provided by
+    the \l {Testing the Linux Framebuffer} document.
