Dear Louis, Thank you for your comprehensive response, the QA tools are certainly valuable tools. I'm very curious on how I could go about getting Freeview snapshots without invoking X. I was wondering whether you are happy to share your "alternative version which gets snaps with freeview"? Or perhaps more generally, how a programmer should approach this problem of not invoking X when getting the snapshot?
