It's easy to get console / VT output to a file

[darxus at chaosreigns.com]

Ran weston on the DRM backend (outside X), it did something weird, and you
want to get the output to a file?  (And haven't set up gpm in forever?)

It's really easy:

  # setterm -file log.txt -dump 4

Where "4" was the virtual terminal number I wanted the text from.  You'll
need to run it as root.
