this seems as good a place as any to announce my new add-on shield TFT board :
You'll need to compile the kernel and modules to enable the fb1 framebuffer, as outlined in Mark's excellent blog here :

Many thanks to Kamal Mostafa for sharing his code : http://www.whence.com/rpi/
Purchase details can be found here :

So you're using a SainSmart 1.8" LCD Module, huh? Interesting. How's the refresh rate? It looked decent in the video, but that was 240p, so...
