Add Ability To Display Image in framebuffer between programs #42

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I am wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to display a
static image in the framebuffer in the time between when one program
releases the framebuffer and another acquires it.  The ultimate goal here
is to hide from the user the console output and to allow programs that act
as a window manager (e.g. dmenu) to be able to have a transition screen.  

If it is possible, it would be nice to have the system just read from a
file in the filesystem, like a png file, and just display it until
something else asks for the framebuffer, and then put it back when no other
program is using it or asking for it.
