+FbTerm is a fast terminal emulator for linux with the frame buffer

fbterm supports the mouse (provided gpm is running) and is able to
-share the console with (some) other applications, such as "mplayer -vo
-fbdev2". It also uses the same fonts as X, and renders them with lovely
-antialiasing like modern X terminals. fbterm has *much* better Unicode
