# $Id: 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.
