I have a similar problem, maybe Sergey will know if it's the same thing. When I take screenshots I get old stuff that used to be on the screen some time ago.
I found that switching to a text-mode virtual terminal and back to X, then immediately taking the screenshot, gets me the correct screen contents. If this works in general, perhaps an automatic process with similar side-effects could be patched into the Ubuntu distro, or something. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080002 Title: screenshot app gives plain blank screen Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When taking screenshots via either printscreen hotkey, app from menu, or via external application (scrot) the results simply yield a plain blank screen with a mouse pointer. I have tried all modes with floating windows, maximized, and plain desktop. this bug should be relatively easy to duplicate. Also do not believe this to be a driver issue as on a vanilla ubuntu 12.10 install running identical drivers this issue was not present.
