Thank you for responding Using something like this: --dfb:bg-none,no-vt-switch,no-banner,no-vt,no-graphics-vt,translucent-windows,desktop-buffer-mode=frontonly oddly, gave me what I was looking for, sometimes. I think this is what you mean by "unpredictable".
I noticed a printf line didn't output until the application quit. Either that or I didn't see it until the app ended. I took your advice and tried to run DFBTerm. Had problems loading the lite shared lib. I will work on your second suggestion next because I want to support as much hardware as I can. Out of curiosity, what about writing an image to one terminal and running the console text in another? I noticed no matter which vt I switch to, if the graphic is running (needs to be updating or moving) I can still see it. But perhaps this is not a good idea and I would be best to follow your advice? I would like to include a screenshot but print scrn doesn't do anything. I saw in a different post a reference to print screen button not working. I didn't see a fix for that. Thank you for your valuable time.
