There is a new version of Fritzing out for 2 days now. Yay!
I jumped onto the opportunity and created some schematics for the S65 TFT display while playing with the new version.
More about the new Fritzing version and the schematics after the jump...

As promised, here comes the code, along with the Fritzing file as a schematic view of the whole thing.
Hit the jump for the downloads. No wall of text his time.

Ready to get to the real stuff? In comes the schematics!
All these have been done with Fritzing, a circuit design tool for Arduino users and beginners in general.
While it is still in alpha phase and therefore has quite a few annoying bugs, it is definitely usable and easy to use.
Anyway, here is the breadboard view of the design:

One basic thing to consider when doing stuff on the Arduino is the usage of the input and output pins.
The Arduino has 14 digital I/O pins, each configurable as input or output, and 6 analog inputs, so there is a hard limit to the amount of pins you have available. So, a basic plan is needed for this little project to avoid too many design errors and reconfigurations.
