To record a video from your desktop (like a screenshot, just in video), open a console, then

  • decide if your current resolution fits. If it does not, change it using xrandr, e.g.
xrandr -s "640x480"
  • install recordmydesktop, in this example for SUSE Linux:
yast -i recordmydesktop
  • start the video recording with the command
recordmydesktop
