No idea, why I did not thought of a group problem. However the output is now identical to the one of Gentoo (see last attachement), still corrupted. I´d say, that this is hardware-related. Do you have a nvidia- card? If so, it would be nice, if you could test this with an ati-card, if you have one. I´ve experienced this for about a year now and die _never_ get the framebuffer apps to work (fbgrab, vlc). It´s still reproducible on four different systems, but they have all amd/ati components.
A program like fbgrab should not produce corrupted output, as it only grabs /dev/fb0 for a moment. Maybe there is something wrong with the kernel drivers (it does not matter, if I use vesafb, uvesafb or the kms- driver radeondrmfb). The vlc fb output uses 40 to 60% of the CPU, which is 20% higher than in X or identical to decoding a HD-video in X. However my main intention is not to view videos in the framebuffer, but to make screenshots of the framebuffer. I just noticed the corruption, when testing other apps. Anyway, the bug remains invalid, as it is probably caused by a kernel- bug.
