Am Freitag, 11. Juli 2003 14:16 schrieben Sie: [EMAIL PROTECTED] well, The thing is that I know it must be possible to do it. Commercial products do the same job. Camtasia for example records on windows the screen. I can allready do it using xwd or other tools to make the screenshots. The problem is that with these tools the mousepointer disappears when a screenshot is made. The user can no more work properly. So I'm thinking in the way to do it as the VESA driver refresh the screen.Just send the framebuffer output, in this case not to the display but into a file with a very simple command like cp framebuffer file. I want to use for this example the VESA framebuffer that is fb0. (path /dev/fb0). But it is not working properly. The file I create is very big a can't be displayed. here how I'm processing. [begin of code] [EMAIL PROTECTED] cp /dev/fb0 t1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] dir t1 -rw-r-1 userusers33554432 2003-07-11 14:35 t1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] display t1 display: Incorrect image header in file (t1). [end of code] Any idea or comment? thanks James ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

In other way, how can I record the screen as a movie file without making screen shots? thank for your help OK, this is messy and only an outline of what to do, but I think I have a couple ways for you to solve your problem. On a Windows box: 1) Install an X windows implementation such as X-Win32 (the one I use) or Cygwin. 2) Obtain one of many Windows utilities to make a movie out of screen activity (I have no direct experience with such packages -- I hear there are many such as gifgifgif and Camtasia). of the package he uses is not in right now). 3) Set up the security on your Windows-box X server so your XFree86 box can access the X server. You likely just have to put the IP of the XFree86 box into some security dialog. On the XFree86 box where you'd like to do the video capture: 4) Reset the DISPLAY environment variable to your Windows box IP with :0 for the display number (or whatever it takes to redirect the : windows to your Windows box and start your XFree86 application. The biggest issue I think you'll have is running a window manager and keeping it from interfering with the appearance of your application. Here's the alternate (probably better) solution... On a Windows box: 1) Obtain a VNC client for Windows. 2) Obtain a Windows screen capture movie program (same as #2 above). On your XFree86 box: 3) Install VNC server and VNC client. 4) Start a VNC server with :1 as the display. 5) Start your application with :1 as the display. 6) Start the VNC client using :1 as the display -- go full screen. [At this point you should be able to do whatever you would on your XFree86 box and your VNC client will display the activity. It should look normal to you (not crucial, but reassuring). On the Windows box (suggested order of events): 7) Start your screen capture utility. 8) Start your VNC client using the XFree86 IP address and display :1 then go full screen. 9) Do whatever work you'd like to do on the XFree86 box via the VNC client on your Windows box. When you're done just stop the screen capture utility. You naturally have to edit the captured result to drop whatever you don't want at the start. Please accept the above as concepts. I have tinkered around with trying to capture XFree86 activity on Redhat 7.3 and did set up a VNC client on Windows/NT (full screen) so I could see what was happening on the XFree86 box. I never took the next step of recording the activity, I simply made a recommendation to a gentleman who wanted to go to the next step. Good luck!
