About:
qingy is a replacement for getty. 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, etc.). 

Changes:
Support for Fedora was added. A command line argument to tell qingy to
perform a text mode login was added. Support was added for calling scripts
before or after qingy GUI is started or shut down. The GPM start/stop code
was moved to external scripts. Support was added for selecting the last
session on a per-user or a per-tty basis, and for selecting whether the
last user should be calculated on a global or a per-tty basis. The ability
to set the offset used to search for an available X server was added.
Setting it to 0 will make buggy X drivers (like ATI's) work with qingy.
Experimental support for GNU libgcrypt as a crypto library was added.
