Bug#398642: links2 -g libdirectfb error

I am having the same problem but with the latest links2 package.

lontra@debian[~]$ apt-cache policy links2
links2:
Installed: 2.1pre26-1
Candidate: 2.1pre26-1
Version table:
*** 2.1pre26-1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2.1pre24-1 0
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Packages

My error...

lontra@debian[~]$ links2 -g

---------------------- DirectFB v0.9.25 ---------------------
(c) 2000-2002 convergence integrated media GmbH
(c) 2002-2004 convergence GmbH
-----------------------------------------------------------

(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2006-10-17 10:09)
(*) Direct/Memcpy: Using MMXEXT optimized memcpy()
(!) DirectFB/core/vt: Error opening `/dev/tty0'!
--> Permission denied
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system' core!
--> Initialization error!
svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions.


Interestingly...links2 -g will start as root but only in full screen.
Here is the output from links2 -g as root.
