In woody:

 apt-cache search capture screen
 cgoban - Complete Go board
 scrot - command line screen capture utility
 
 apt-cache show scrot

[...]
 
 Description: command line screen capture utility
 scrot (SCReen shOT) is a simple commandline screen capture
 utility that uses imlib2 to grab and save images. Multiple
 image formats are supported through imlib2's dynamic saver
  modules.
     
maybe you could write a script to execute scrot at certain intervals, and
then build a movie with some other utility (gimp?, some command line utility
I don't remember now?). I haven't used scrot, so I don't know how it works.
