***
BACKGROUND IMAGE
FbTerm  doesn't  load  and  parse  any  image file with various 
formats directly, instead it takes a screen shot  of  frame  buffer  
device on startup  if variable FBTERM_BACKGROUND_IMAGE is defined, then 
uses this screen shot as the background for text rendering. In  order  to  
enable background image support, user should first put a image to frame 
buffer device with a image viewer. A wrapper script using fbv is listed 
below:

(...)
***

So it's better that you stick to the mentioned instructions and retry.
