Xynth Terminal Demo: Text input problems

I realize this is an older project, but I found it rather fascinating and it builds fine on my modern system with a small patch for musl. Thanks for your work!

That said, there are several bugs with Xynth terminal.

• SDL w/ X11: Xynth terminal more or less works. You can type and use the console, but backspace does not remove characters visibly. This means you can only overwrite existing input and have to kind of guess what was typed.
• SDL w/ FBCon: No keyboard input works at all.

I believe keyboard input should work on framebuffer as well, but I don't see any errors in logging as to why it is not.

Unrelated small issues:

• Minimize/maximize/rollup of all windows does not work
• Appears to be no 256color / tic data for this terminal.

Using: libsdl-1.2.15 Xynth: git master

Haven't tested it myself, but it probably would be an awesome alternative, if developed the way the creator intended originally. Aka, minimalistic and secure.

:)

That is why I think he developed this?

But yeah, interested as well, I am!
