Hi! I fear you may need to write the input functions for reading lines and other formatted data yourself... I'm not aware of DFB including stuff for this.
You can investigate using the DFB options "no-vt" and "disable-module=keyboard". That should prevent the vt switching, your app should remain attached to the tty you started it on. You should then be able to read from stdin. Whether or not this works will depend on the hardware and framebuffer driver you are using: Depending on whether the sceen you are planning to drive contains a framebuffer console or not, it may need to be initialized in graphics mode, or the initialization may fail without the vt-handling code. Best to give it a try. Richard > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Ido Yehieli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 29.
