I think the only way to not have to make 'screen shots' is to hang something off the video-out of the machine to record it high quality - ie, digital video camera (don't laugh, a lot of them have 'video in' :0) ) and pipe the video back to the computer later.
Otherwise, at some point you'll have to take screenshots. I believe that if you're using the framebuffer, you can 'cat /dev/fb0 > ~/ScreenShotX' -Check the framebuffer howto(s) for details, also for the format of the resulting piccie! <crazy, probably unworkable idea> If you can't get a high enough framerate, I wonder if it would be possible to record the XDMCP traffic, and replay it slowly later while making the shots? </crazy, probably unworkable idea> -Oli >On Thu, 10 Jul 2003, Eric Christopherson wrote: > >> > how to capture the video card output.
