Does fterm need virtual tty support in kernel? #60

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.I am porting debian armhf to htc shooteru(evo 3d gsm) mobile. There are some 
bugs in kernel( kernel src from htcdev.com), which make me can't enable vt(it 
will cause initrmafs loaded), but I can enable framebuffer. I want to use 
fbterm instead getty and tty which directly use /dev/fb0.

If fbterm don't need tty support, I think I can do it.

And can fbterm provide a a tty file in /dev ? (like create  a tty file in /dev, 
but it is redirected to fbterm.

fbterm depends on /dev/tty for keyboard input!

If I don't have keyboard at all, I only have a touch screen or this machine is 
used for show which I control it in the remote, I don't think I need a 
keyboard. How about set switch to off it?
