REMARKS:
Starting with version 0.5.0, qingy should work on NTPL enabled systems
again, given that you use a kernel newer than 2.6.7 (2.6.7 will _not_
work).
POST-INSTALL:
(quoting http://qingy.sourceforge.net/manual.php):
You also have to modify your /etc/inittab file. You should find in it a
section that goes like this:
# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 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
and modify it as follows:
# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty1
c2:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty2
c3:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty3
c4:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty4
c5:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty5
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
After that you can either reboot your system or use the following
commands (as root):
init Q
killall agetty
where agetty is the name of your previous *getty. After this, either
logout or change terminal to see qingy in all it's glory!
I suggest you leave at least one terminal with your old *getty, so that
in case of problems or misconfiguration (remember that qingy is beta
software, so there may well be some bugs) you have at least one surely
working terminal.
