Sure, GetImage on the root window works just like it does on any other video driver. Jeremy, Josh, and I sponsored a recently-completed capstone project where the students produced quite a bit of code relying on that: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcwm/ I haven't paid too much attention to xorg-gtest; I assume it's a framework for building X server test suites? I'd certainly recommend using xf86-video-dummy if you're kicking off an X server during any automated test procedure. Sometimes people might appreciate a configuration option to use xf86-video-nested instead, so they can see the test output. I'm not sure there's anything else you'd need to encapsulate in xorg-gtest that's specific to the dummy driver though.
