Description: framebuffer-enabled replacement for getty
qingy (Qingy Is Not GettY) is a replacement for getty that 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, ...).
Main features:
* It works ;-)
* It remembers last user who logged in, with focus on password
* It also rememebers last session each user chose
* Alternatively it remembers last session on a per-tty basis
* Fully themable
* A theme will look the same on all machines, independently of the resolution
* You can select your favourite theme, or a random one every time
* Both text and X sessions are supported
* You can start more that one X session at once
* You can even start X inside a console when X sessions are already running
* PAM support
* Support for screen savers
* Auto log-in support
* Session locking support
* tty specific options support
* Customizable key bindings
* Text mode support.
