Hello,

I'm new to directfb programming. It's exiting so far.

I would like to put a graphic image on top of the text
console. I was able to do it by putting an image in a
window and the sprite example works ok too. Looks like
it actually works. I can see the console text and the
image, but the terminal text is gray. The gpm mouse
pointer cursor is gray also. I would say very dull
gray, as if it's in the background.

When the program ends, the text resumes its normal
color.

Is there a way to use directfb and ncurses so I can
use all of my terminal capabilities?

Note that even running the directfb application in a
smaller mode than the screen still produces the same
gray dull text. For example, my console is 1024x768. I
run the application in 640x480. Works fine but even
the text on the outside of the directfb app is gray
and dimmed out.

Another update:
If I switch consoles (alt+F2), switching back gives me
exactly what I want. The text looks great and the
image is there as well.
