Re: How to make a screenshot?
Hi Randy, FreeBSD 5.2 vidcontrol -p /dev/ttyv0 shot.scr with the above command a file 'shot.scr' was created. But I have no program to view it. # pkg_info | grep scr2txt # pkg_info | grep scr2png # pkg_info | grep -w xv all no printout # cd /usr/ports # make search name=scr2txt Port: scr2txt-1.1 Path: /usr/ports/textproc/scr2txt Info: Converts the output of vidcontrol -p to text # make search name=scr2png Port: scr2png-1.1_4 Path: /usr/ports/graphics/scr2png Info: Converts the output of vidcontrol -p to PNG # make search name=xv | grep -w xv Port: xv-3.10a_3 Path: /usr/ports/graphics/xv Kindly advise Whether I have to install either of the above program to read shot.scr? The following command will dump contents of the fourth virtual terminal to the standard output in the human readable format: vidcontrol -P /dev/ttyv3 On KDE desktop Konsole window # vidcontrol -P /dev/ttyv3 no graphic image displayed (tried both -P and -p) Besides I have to 'su' to use 'vidcontrol' B.R. Stephen Liu The .scr images can be manipulated with textproc/scr2txt and graphics/scr2png. The man pages for both describe their usage. These are the tools that are used to produce the screenshots of the console and Sysinstall in the Handbook. For screenshots in XFree86, I find that graphics/xv does the job quite nicely without a lot of fuss. Best regards, Randy ___ Do You Yahoo!?

Yes, the scr2png will probably suit your needs best if you want to make screenshots of the console. The following command will dump contents of the fourth virtual terminal to the standard output in the human readable format: vidcontrol -P /dev/ttyv3 On KDE desktop Konsole window # vidcontrol -P /dev/ttyv3 no graphic image displayed (tried both -P and -p) Besides I have to 'su' to use 'vidcontrol' Vidcontrol is used for taking console screenshots. It will not display them. After processing with scr2png, then an image viewer is needed to view them. B.R. Stephen Liu The .scr images can be manipulated with textproc/scr2txt and graphics/scr2png.

I'm not aware of any method to use it to take screenshots in XFree86. As you can tell by this thread, there are plenty of options for making screenshots while in X.

If in X but you want a command line, install ImageMagick and use $ convert X: screenshot.jpg then point to the window you want a screenshot of.

I'm running FreeBSD 4.10. Thanks, Andrew Everyone so far has mentioned mostly screenshots within XFree86 so I'll mention a method for console mode. From man vidcontrol: The following command will capture the contents of the first virtual terminal, and redirect the output to the shot.scr file: vidcontrol -p /dev/ttyv0 shot.scr The following command will dump contents of the fourth virtual terminal to the standard output in the human readable format: vidcontrol -P /dev/ttyv3 The .scr images can be manipulated with textproc/scr2txt and graphics/scr2png.
