There's a screen grab utility on your Neo (at least on the more recent
builds) that I found by reading through the build tree. It's at
/usr/bin/fbgrab. It might be useful for showing off screen images to
your friends or for submitting bugs.
To grab the current screen image, just ssh over and run "fbgrab
filename.png". The home page for this utility is at
http://hem.bredband.net/gmogmo/fbgrab/
<http://hem.bredband.net/gmogmo/fbgrab/>. I'm not sure how or where
this should be documented in the wiki.
There's another way which I find more useful, since I usually want the
screenshots on my desktop, not on the phone (OK, so it saves having to
scp them, big deal). But here it is:
start a terminal on the phone (next command must be done locally)
give the command: xhost +YourDesktopIP
then from the desktop, just use most any screen grab program
(I use kscreenshot) with the "-display phone:0" argument.
So the program is running on the desktop, but its
interactions with X will be with the X server on the phone.
This way when I "Save", it saves it on my desktop (even though the save
dialog pops up on the phone - remote X is a miracle but sometimes a
mindblower too).

BTW, if you do want to scp, and you have an SSH session running too,
define an entry like
192.168.0.202 phone openmoko gadget fic-gta01
in your desktop's /etc/hosts. Then you can copy-and-paste the
hostname (from the terminal's prompt) *and the colon and the directory*
and use it directly in an scp, for example, I am ssh'd in:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/ram$ pwd
/media/ram
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/ram$
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ --- copy this (up to but not including the $)
To scp a file there, use something like
scp MyHeartWillGoOn.mp3 (PASTE)<enter>
and it will copy the file from your desktop to the same directory
that your ssh is in. Same trick works copying files "up" too.
Just a little timesaver!
Also - if you are interested in how the GUI / Window Manager starts up,
I've tried to start documenting it at
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Window_Manager_Startup
That was you? Hey, useful! Thanks.
