This guide shows how you can use getty as display manager.
Choose window manager
If you use fi keyboard layout and dwm as window manager, you would set the following in your ~/.xinitrc:
~/.xinitrc - setting up keyboard layout and window managersetxkbmap fi
exec dwm
Start X on login to tty1
Start X session when you login to first virtual terminal. By default this should happen on the first freed terminal; tty7 if agetty is taking 1 to 6 as per /etc/inittab describes.
Add the following line in top of your ~/.bashrc:
~/.bashrc - Autostart X on login to tty1[[ $(tty) = "/dev/tty1" ]] && exec startx
Autologin
Modify /etc/inittab:
/etc/inittab - Autologin# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -a username 38400 tty1 linux
Important
If you want start X straight from autologin in inittab, enter the code from the above .bashrc in ~/.bash_profile instead.
