I can't answer that question, unfortunately, but I am quite satisfied with
agetty.
If you wish to clear the screen after every logout, it is rather simple and
it can be done by putting this line into /etc/profile:
trap clear EXIT
and it means that when bash catches the EXIT signal it executes clear before
it exits. And so you'll have a perfectly clear screen after every logout.
I do not think it is wise to have your first VC clean immediately after
bootup as you can miss some error messages (and forget to look into
/var/log/messages ;-) .
Everything the best,
Peter
