I had to do a few aptitude search/install,
i think it was less than a dozen for dev (header files)
(aptitude search is a life-saver)

I got the screen capture working, but how do i get a bitmap sharpness? like true

increased the bitrate => -b 100000

any suggestions, am I missing something? thanks!
