To take a screenshot on an XO-4 with Android:

  • press the power button and then X game key and hold them for a second, then release,
  • a sound is played, and an animation of the screenshot,
  • the screenshot is available in a file browser or gallery,

It won't work if the X game key is pressed before the power button.

As a alternative there is a binary which can do the some thing via adb shell

adb disconnect && adb connect 192.168.XXX.XXX
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png
adb pull /sdcard/screen.png
gimp screen.png
