I've tried configuring ffmpeg with --enable-x11grab and the configure
passed without any errors, but x11 input wasn't enabled (I still had the
message "Unknown input format: 'x11grab'" after the building process and
even ./configure --enable-x11grab .. | grep x11_grab_device didn't produce
any output)
Recommendation is that configure should check if needed libraries are
installed for x11 input device to be properly built and if they are not
installed, to break out of the configure process with a descriptive error
message.
I've solved my problem reading this article:
http://www.jedi.be/blog/2010/08/30/capturing-the-screen-of-your-virtual-
machines-using-x-vnc-rdp-or-native/
which basically says that I lacked some libraries (libx11-dev, libxfixes-
dev and libxext-dev), and after installing those, I've had x11_grab_device
in the list of input devices.
