• Use the 'scshot' command.
  
  From the program, you can run the command '/home/sharp/bin/scshot name' and it will take a snapshot of the screen and store it in a file named 'name0001.bmp'. Further screenshots will be named '0002', '0003', etc.
  
  The screenshot is taken immediately. You can use the Linux 'sleep' command to pause before taking the shot, so you don't just end up taking a shot of the Terminal. e.g.,
  
  sleep 5 ; /home/sharp/bin/scshot shot

• Install the screenshot applet.
  
  There's a program you can install on the Zaurus which will appear as an applet on the taskbar (near the battery status and clock) which lets you take screenshots at a click of the stylus.
  
  You can download it from the SourceForge.net Zaurus site.

• Use VNC and your desktop.
  
  You can install the VNC Server software on the Zaurus, connect it to your desktop or local area network, and then run a VNC client on your desktop, and take a screenshot of that.

  /mnt/card/Screen_Files
  /mnt/cf/Screen_Files
  /home/zaurus/Documents/Screen_Files

• Install the MPlayer Shell package (which requires Java) and make sure you use the version of MPlayer from the MPlayer Shell home page. This will give you a nice graphical interface to MPlayer that ensures the screen is refreshed after stopping playing.

• Not at the moment
  

  The current players are X Windows based only. However there is the open source Helix project that is working on an ARM CPU based player that could be given a native Qtopia interface.
