fbdump is a simple tool to capture snapshots from
the Linux kernel framebuffer device and write them
out as a PPM file. Currently, most packed-pixel
framebuffer formats and the vga16 framebuffer are
supported.

This release adds some command line options to specify the framebuffer to grab from, to bring another VT to the foreground to grab from, and to specify a delay before grabbing. It will detach from its terminal when switching VT to properly support grabbing from another VT, which potentially can have a different resolution, depth, or palette.
