then your import command should work

Anders, Malcolm,
Thanks! The XAUTHORITY bit was the bit I was missing. I'll also pull fbcat and give that a go.
Anders, Malcolm, All
After setting XAUTHORITY, the import command will work for 'root'. However, it only captures a totally 'black' image of the display of the correct size when run from tty1. However, when run from within kde, I can capture the correct image. I have also tried xwd from within kde and it works as well.
Any thought on why I get a totally black image when using import from tty1?
Hi Are you using the chvt command as well? That was the only way I could get it to work using import. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64) Kernel 3.1.9-1.4-desktop up 20:24, 5 users, load average: 0.02, 0.04, 0.05 CPU Intel i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | Intel Arrandale GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
