"xdpyinfo" gives me that the X server has the XVideo extension, but I don't know how to use it. In fact, I only know its name, nothing else about it. > >far.

I tried capturing 16bit (RGB555/RGB565), also modifying the buffer sizes, etc., but I get again a black picture. Does the X display resolution have to match the capturing colourdepth? At the moment, my display resolution is 1280x1024@24bpp. /G
