frecon: cant output text to vt0

Project Member Reported by dbehr@chromium.org, Sep 22 2016 
stop ui; killall -9 frecon
frecon --daemon --enable-vts --clear=0xfefefefe /usr/share/chromeos-assets/images/boot_message.png

echo zzz > /var/run/frecon/vt0 
should print zzz on screen

could be that vt0 is not active after boot?

In a normal use case we expect Chrome to start after boot splash so we switch terminal to background and the current terminal is set to null at the end of splash_run so it is not processing anything.

I think we may change all of this to make splash term active and current terminal, just put it in background.

I think we will need to use --enable-vt1 and --no-login.

In normal frecon invocation we expect Chrome to start after boot splash animation so we put splash term (aka vt0/vt1) into background and give up drm master. So at this point we cannot update the screen anymore and call FB dirty ioctl.

If you need to display anything on splash term it probably means you are starting frecon yourself so you should add --enable-vt1 flag and if you do not want to be able to login on terminals, add --no-login.
