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. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
