Bug 23955 – ebuild for qingy 0.1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michele Noberasco (RETIRED) 2003-07-04 16:09:34 UTC]

qingy is a replacement of getty.
Written in C, it uses 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, ...).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




It it beta software, so it should be marked ~ on all archs. It should run on all
platforms that DirectFB supports.

Being a getty kind of program, I believe it should go to sys-apps category.

Please merge ebuild for version 0.1.1 instead of the old one...

Significant changes (in qingy, from version 0.1):
- full theme support
- Changed default theme to the Ant one

ebuild for qingy 0.2

Please merge version 0.2 as it sports, amongst other things, PAM support.

Nice app, just scanning through the ebuild I think you can replace the docs install part with dodoc README NEWS, etc.

You are right... updated ebuild to use dodoc.
Thank you!
Now if only some dev noticed this bug ;-)

I tried this on my laptop (PowerBook Ti), it seems to switch resolution but then ends up in a black screen. How do I change the resolutions it is running in? This laptop prefers 1152x768.

This is an issue that was solved recently (see new installation info included in qingy 0.2.1 or the updated web site). You have to create a file named /etc/directfbrc and put the following line in it
mode=1152x768
Substitute 1152x768 with the actual resolution you are using with framebuffer...

Jon,

When is this going to be integrated into the general portage tree?

About five minutes ago ;-)

Thanks for your submission.
