well,

The thing is that I know it must be possible to do it. Commercial products do 
the same job. Camtasia for example records on windows the screen. I can 
allready do it using xwd or other tools to make the screenshots. The problem 
is that with these tools the mousepointer disappears when
a screenshot is made. The user can no more work properly. So I'm thinking in 
the way to do it as the VESA driver refresh the screen.Just send the 
framebuffer output, in this case  not to the display but into a file with a 
very simple command like  <cp framebuffer file>. I want to use
for this example the VESA framebuffer that is fb0. (path /dev/fb0). But it is 
not working properly.
The file I create is very big a can't be displayed.

here how I'm processing.

[begin of code]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cp /dev/fb0 t1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dir t1
-rw-r-----    1 user    users    33554432 2003-07-11 14:35 t1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> display t1
display: Incorrect image header in file (t1).
[end of code]

Any idea or comment?


thanks


James
