Package: fbgrab
Version: 1.0.0-4
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
While trying to fix #528361, I came to a conslusion that it would be
easier to write a screenshot grabber from scratch than to tinker with the
current fbgrab code. fbcat[1] has the following features:
- It handles broader range of video modes than fbgrab.
- It does not pretend to support modes which it obviously does not.
- It properly deals with virtual resolutions higher than physical
resolutions.
- It is memory conservative.
- It does not support reading from a file, as that cannot be implemented
reliably.
- It provides an interface compatible with the current fbgrab.
You may consider switching upstreams in order to fix #526772, #528361
and #529352.
