And about fbgrab, it grabs my console but the image looks like that: Its the same if its *.jpg or whatever... I'm running Mandriva 2009.1 Spring, x86.

Guest PauLLiK Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 The problem was that i was typing those commands in terminal and they must be typed in TTY1/2/3..., using CTTRL + ALT +F1/F2/F3... Added [solved]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
