qingy (Qingy Is Not GettY) is a replacement for getty that uses DirectFB to provide a fast, nice GUI without the overhead of the X Window System. It allows the user to log in and start the session of his choice (text console, GNOME, KDE, WMaker, ...).

   the resolution
 - You can select your favourite theme, or a random one every time
 - Both text and X sessions are supported
 - You can start more that one X session at once
 - You can even start X inside a console when X sessions are already
   running
 - PAM support
 - Support for screen savers
 - Auto log-in support
 - Session locking support
 - tty specific options support
