I wonder if there's a way to take over another VT so you don't have the console text over your images.

- ronsor 9y agoYou can change the active VT with ioctl()s. See how chvt does it.
- Jasper_ 9y agoYou can do this without taking over another VT by using ioctl(KDSETMODE, KD_GRAPHICS). This tells fbcon in the kernel to stop drawing console text to /dev/fb.
