How does one make a screenshot of the login screen?
import, from the ImageMagick tools.
Go to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F1), and try:
import -display :0.0 -window root foo.png
You might have to delay it for a moment, and switch back to X, for it to work.
Try:
sleep 10;import -display :0.0 -window root foo.png
That gives you 10 seconds to switch back to X (Ctrl-F7)
Screenshot is in foo.png
