Sure. In fact, I am now using fgetty as my only getty daily on my PS3. What kind of tests you want me to do?

BTW, I figured a way to test a getty without having to rebooting everytime. Here is what I do:
  - boot ubuntu with tty1 enabled with a good getty.
  - log in and config tty2 with a test a getty (by editting /etc/event.d/tty2)
  - run sudo init -q 3 (3 is the runlevel I am using)
  - now tty2 will be started (if it works), press Alt-F2 to test it
  - continue tty3 etc to test new gettys
Not perfect, but enough for me to test several gettys without rebooting. BTW, somehow, init -q does not stop getty already started even with that tty disabled.
