If you are using a sun to run the Xserver you can run the screendump(1)
command to capture the screen in to sun raster format.

This should work because the screendump command will read the image directly
from the screen (as opposed to quering the Xserver). 
I do not know the what the equivalent comand would be for a Dec, or
apollo system (if someone does can they mail me?)
