+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:

+c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/2 linux

+c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/5 linux
+c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/6 linux

+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.
