1. Make sure you have the Android SDK installed http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Once installed and have the various versions downloaded there should be a tool in the "Tools" folder.
3. C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools\DDMS.bat (on windows)
DDMS will pull up an app. As long as you are connected via ADB (either via USB or via adb connect IPaddress:5555 both work - Instructions on ADB here >>> http://forum.gtvhacker.com/revue/topic31.html).
DDMS will let you take a screen shot.

Re: [TUTORIAL] How to do a screen capture
Running 3.1 userdebug on the Revue and when using DDMS to attempt a screen capture it says Capturing as usual then Screen not available.
I've tried rebooting the Revue, disconnecting and reconnecting adb.
Has anyone been able to take screenshots on the user debug version?
Is there a setting I'm missing?
adb and ddms are working correctly other than not being able to take a screenshot.
ddms after attempt at ss shows in the terminal:
06:48:10 W/ddms: Unable to get frame buffer: timeout
TIA!
