qingy (Framebuffer getty replacement) qingy is a replacement of getty. Written in C, it uses DirectFB to provide a fast, nice GUI without the overhead of the X Window System. It allows the user to log in and start the session of his choice (text console, gnome, kde, wmaker, ...). This SlackBuild compiles qingy without its screensaver feature because it caused qingy to crash immediately upon startup and render the terminal unusable. To use qingy as a replacement for agetty, simply edit your /etc/inittab and change the console login lines from: c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty --noclear 38400 tty1 linux c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux to c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty1 c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty2 c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty3 c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty4 c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty5 c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty6 It would be wise to leave agetty on at least one console until you're sure that qingy is working correctly for you.
