Screen Capture

I can't seem to figure out how to make a screen capture. Is
there an  
ability hidden in X11 or do I need to install a port? I'm
running 6.0 and  
also fluxbox as my window manager.

What time is it?

Dodgeball Time!

I do frequent screenshots and use ImageMagick and xbindkeys
for this.
With ImageMagick comes the 'import' command, you can just
bind
something like 'import /tmp/screenshot.png' to a keystroke
of you
liking.

See man (1) import for details.

 From my fluxbox keys file (Mind the above wrap):
Control Shift S :ExecCommand import -window root `date 
+screenshot-%Y%m%d%H%m%S.png`

Requires ImageMagick

I am using xwd that is (I beleive) part of standard X
distribution

To capture to a file:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xwd -frame -out ~/.wdump

To send to a printer:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xwd | /usr/X11R6/bin/xpr -device
ps|/usr/bin/lpr
