Thank's Richard,
     but IDirectFBInputDevice, at least according to manual
(http://www.directfb.org/docs/DirectFB_Reference/IDirectFBInputDevice.html)
seems to only have a method for reading a single key at a time 
(GetKeyState). Can't I get a normal stdin-like interface, for reading 
entire lines?
     Also, this program has to run on a machine that does not yet have 
any input to it, all input is given by telneting to it - so I _have_ to 
use the vt my app was started on.

Thanks in advance,
Ido.
