Hi! Is that possible?
AFAIK one framebuffer device can only be used by one "process" at a time. Either DFB has the framebuffer, or the console has the framebuffer. If both are using it at the same time, results would be unpredictable, as both processes are writing to the same memory. Using directfb you could "simulate" what you want: You could use the different layers of your GFX board to display a DFBTerm in one layer, and an Image on another layer. If your hardware does not support multiple layers, you could also use DFB Windows to achieve the same.
