Mouse drawing directly to fb0

[Zinful]

It's not that I don't like it, but the mouse issue has been a thing for a
few weeks and Im pretty over the mouse lol. The rest of the project so far
is honestly going smoothly. Executing programs, resource management,
displaying text/erasing it properly and y'know whatever else is pretty
relaxed.
Debugging those is also streamlined since the code is pretty organized. But
this mouse has been an absolute nightmare lmao especially in comparison to
the rest. But thank you for your response! I'm going to look into your
suggestion and chances are pretty high I'm just gonna commit to it. Have a
good rest of your week!
