tty access can be disabled by entering the following 2 lines in your 
directfbrc file:
no-vt
no-vt-switch
alternatively, you can start your program with the command line
<program name> --dfb:no-vt,no-vt-switch
I believe.
The vt-handling can be found in systems/fbdev where it is guarded by 
dfb_config->vt and the like.

I understand there are vt-issues floating around which I cannot reproduce,
hope you are not hit by those.
