I tried it, and
	ffmpeg -y -f framebuffer -r 25 -i /dev/fb0 test.avi
almost works. By "almost" I mean that the video seems
to be correctly captured, but the frame rate is wrong
(I get 4fps).

 From a quick look at the patch, the code implementing
the timing seems to be overly complex (and looks wrong
- but I did not completely check). Anyway, this seems
to be the cause for the wrong frame rate I obtain.
Moreover, I believe that support for the NONBLOCK flag
should be implemented before the patch is ready for svn.


Finally, a warning: are your sure about the license?
The code claims to be LGPL, but seems to be based on
GPLed code.
