Hey Jeanette,

Why don't you run a screen session and save everything to a log? Then, you can take the text itself and render it out in whatever way you need.

Here is what you can do:

screen -L

(Do tty/console stuff)

exit

Then you will have everything you just did in that screen session saved to text. On my machine, it saves to screenlog.0 in the directory I started screen in.

I hope this helps,

Hey hey,
given, that I don't have a framebuffer setup, what is the easiest way to render one termain "snapshot" to an image file that can be part of a slide show or video?

I have seen fbdump and fbgrab, which rely on the framebuffer and have proven them to fail. Everything else I found is for the desktop or to be launched in a desktop environment.

Any help, pointers are appreciated!

Best wishes,

Jeanette
