Qingy README

|
What is qingy?
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Qingy is a replacement for getty. It is using DirectFB to provide a
|
|
fast, nice GUI without the overhead of the X Windows System. It allows
|
|
the user to log in and start the session of his choice (text console,
|
|
gnome, kde, wmaker, ...). Running several X sessions is also
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
How to get qingy?
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
A package is available in the [community] repo. To install:
|
|
|
|
# pacman -S qingy
|
|
|
|
Several extra themes are also available. In [community] repo, there is
|
|
an Arch specific theme:
|
|
|
|
# pacman -S qingy-theme-arch
|
|
|
|
A package of several various themes is available in AUR:
|
|
|
|
* qingy-themes
|
|
|
|
How to setup qingy?
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
To use qingy, you'll need to edit /etc/inittab.
|
|
|
|
Replace:
|
|
|
|
c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/1 linux
|
|
c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/2 linux
|
|
c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/3 linux
|
|
c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/4 linux
|
|
c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/5 linux
|
|
c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/6 linux
|
|
|
|
by:
|
|
|
|
c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty1
|
|
c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty2
|
|
c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty3
|
|
c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty4
|
|
c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty5
|
|
c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
|
|
|
|
Qingy's author suggest to keep agetty on a console (here on console 6)
|
|
as a safety measure as qingy is still beta software.
|
|
|
|
When logging in an X session, qingy doesn't source your profile. The
|
|
best solution is to add:
|
|
[ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile
|
|
to your ~/.xinitrc and create a .xsession symlink:
|
|
ln -s ~/.xinitrc ~/.xsession
|
|
(or source the profiles in your ~/.xsession depending on your setup). Then
|
|
login in the 'Your .xsession' session.
|
|
Otherwise, add:
|
|
[ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile
|
|
to your ~/.bashrc so that the profile will be sourced for each
|
|
terminal.

Having problems with your Synaptics touchpad?
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Qingy (and quite possibly other DirectFB applicationss) has some
|
|
issues using Synaptics touchpad. This can be solved by adding:
|
|
|
|
disable-module=linux_input
|
|
|
|
to /etc/directfbrc. If the file does not exist, create it. This will
|
|
enable you to use your touchpad, however some extra functionality like
|
|
tapping or tap-dragging might not work.
