Utilities for screen capturing for dev/test images for working with screen capture.
Provides a screenshot of the current display. Useful for capturing what's on the display when test has failed, for example. Not all devices are supported yet, so your mileage may vary.
VNC server using the same infrastructure as screenshot for grabbing display.
Here’s a quick rundown of how to use kmsvnc.
(DUT)# kmsvnc
VNC server will start listening on port 5900. Forward the port with SSH from your client, and connect through the port. Example:
(workstation)$ ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 DUT
Then connect using a VNC client, such as VNC Viewer for Google Chrome to localhost:5900. It will ask you if you want to connect unauthenticated, here we are relying on ssh forwarding to restrict who can connect.
TODO(uekawa): set up component for crbug.

For development I typically deploy to /usr/local/ because tests expect them there.
$ BOARD=rammus-arc-r
$ setup_board --board=${BOARD} # required only once per board.
$ cros_workon --board=${BOARD} start screen-capture-utils
$ emerge-${BOARD} -j 100 chromeos-base/screen-capture-utils
$ cros deploy --root=/usr/local/ localhost:2229 chromeos-base/screen-capture-utils
$ tast run localhost:2229 graphics.KmsvncConnect
$ tast run localhost:2229 graphics.Smoke.platform
For debugging I typically need to deploy to /usr/sbin, from inside chroot
$ cros deploy localhost:2229 chromeos-base/screen-capture-utils
$ gdb-${BOARD} --remote=localhost:2229 /usr/sbin/kmsvnc
