Hi,
Tried the capturing screen command using setterm as per LOST #142
(see below)

>  LOST #142
> To capture what is on a console to a file:
> $setterm -dump -file screen.dump
> To append to above file, for subsequent text screens :
> $setterm -append -file screen.dump

Am getting the message:
couldn't read /dev/vcsa0, and cannot iocntl dump

There is no vcsa0 in /dev. created a directory vcsa0 in /dev. 
it did not list in ls -a, though it was created as when I tried to make 
another vcsa0, it said cannot create directory as file exists! 

Read the man pages for vcs - virtual console memory, but could not sort out 
the problem. Except came across the following line :
"The /dev/vcsa0 device is used for Braille support. "
 
Can someone please help explain.
Thanks in advance.
