fbdump is a simple tool that captures the contents of the visible portion of
|
|
|
|
|
the Linux framebuffer device and writes it to the standard output as a PPM
|
|
|
|
|
file. In other words, it takes a screenshot of anything running on the
|
|
|
|
|
framebuffer. It currently has fairly complete support for packed-pixel
|
|
|
|
|
framebuffer types and also works with the VGA16 framebuffer driver.

Note: fbdump is rather slow on modern systems with high-resolution
|
|
|
|
|
framebuffers at 32-bit color depth. On the maintainer's system, it takes
|
|
|
|
|
8 seconds to dump a 1920x1080x32 framebuffer. Be patient.
