The option "no-vt" does not work for me.

When I start the program via telnet I get this:

(*) parsing config file '/etc/directfbrc'.

       ---------------------- DirectFB v0.9.20 ---------------------
             (c) 2000-2002  convergence integrated media GmbH
             (c) 2002-2003  convergence GmbH

(*) Single Application Core. (with MMX support) (2004-06-17 14:35)
(*) DirectFB/misc/memcpy: using linux kernel memcpy()
(*) DirectFB/InputDevice: Keyboard 0.9 (convergence integrated media

(*) MMX detected and enabled
(*) DirectFB/GraphicsDevice: MMX Software Rasterizer 0.6 (convergence
integrated media GmbH)
(*) DirectFB/Layer: Enabled 'FBDev Primary Layer'.
(*) DirectFB/Interface: Loaded 'FT2' implementation of 'IDirectFBFont'.

But from the commandline I get nothing, but the program seems to run,
but without any output.
