Alternative, with X11, is to set a huge virtual screen. If your about 100 dpi, 
make the virtual screen size three times greater then actual size would 
result in the 300 dpi resulting image  be at screen size. But, who really 
want to print at screen size ;-)

   Hi Pierre,

   

   If I understand you well, what you are saying is that the imagagemagick command 

   

   import -display :0 -window root -density 300 screen.png

   outputs a fake 300 dpi image. 

   

   This is where I found the info. 

   

   http://thesourceshow.org/node/40

   

   But I do only step 2 because I dont have other pc. When I open the screen shots, made with this method, in the gimp it shows resolution 300 dpi. 

   What do you think, are these fake high res images?

   

   Thanks a lot,

   jmak
