This is a good question I simply never got around to asking.
To take this question a little further, does this program also work to take pictures of the grub bootsplash? If not, is there a way to take a screenshot of the grub screen? |

nevermind about my previous question. It appears that some serious programming or installing vmware would have to take place before you can take a screenshot of grub within a digicam.
Anyway, using the information found in this post, I was able to do this. |

| You mean to get a screenshot of your desktop? There are many utils for that, Gnome comes with a default one and even Gimp has this ability. |

I want to take a screenshot of my graphical session while using 3ddesktop but I can't do it from X while 3ddesktop is called I have to do it from the commandline but I have no idea how.

| Do you have Gimp? If yes, then you can go to the acquire screenshot option and to tell it to grab the screen after 10-15 seconds. Like this you will have the time to run 3ddesktop. |

Thanks alot I got the screenshot I wanted now, one step closer to my customization mini faq. 
Anyone here have any idea if its possible to capture animation, I want to dump the X output specifically the output when 3ddesk is running into an mpg file for example.

That means you are running your framebuffer in 8bpp mode (256 color). You need to set up your video mode. |
