Thanks a lot,looking forward to your mail.
See man vidcontrol, as in:
The following command will capture the contents of the first
virtual ter-
minal, and redirect the output to the shot.scr file:
vidcontrol -p /dev/ttyv0 shot.scr
Another option would be to utilize the mouse edit buffer to
capture screen content in ASCII only, it requires a standard
three button mouse and moused running correctly. Then you can
select parts of the screen content or the whole screen using
the left mouse button, then use Alt+PF2 (for example) to
switch to another VT, login, start an editor (ee screen.txt)
and then press the middle mouse button - the selected text
will be put 1:1 into the file.
Unelegang manual work, but sometimes useful (e. g. if you
need screenshots for documentation purposes where a simple
ASCII reproduction without colors or other attributes is
needed).
