Generally one doesn't do that in FreeBSD. If you're playing fullscreen or have your resolution set fairly low you might try an script like: sleep x # to let you start playing before the screenshots kick off loop x times do xwd -root -silent -out screenseq.$x.xwd done You probably won't get very good performance with this option, but it'll probably work. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
