Hi .. 

Question - I was thinking about writing a program that creates a
screendump [image] only from the cli. [not X]. Where should I access
the data that is displayed on the screen? Directly from the hardware, or
from the kernel somewhere or .. ?

Any comments, thoughts or hints are appreciated.

Thankx.

J.
