have you tried to scoll back using shift-page up and so on?
You mean activating ypan? When I do that it just beeps.
But I know it is active:
kernel: [ 23.111775] uvesafb: scrolling: ypan using protected mode
interface, yres_virtual=1536
I find references to shift-page up but not to what that actually does.
Or how to check what that is supposed to do.
I tried 'fbset -move up' but that also just beeps.
For 'scroll-back' in a console I usually use the 'script'command and
then look at the typescript file with an editor.
But it would be nice to get ypan working!

When working in runlevel 2, as with my Etch netinst, I'm unable to scroll
back. for example I run lsmod, but only see what's on the screen,
which is
the tail end of lsmod.
Now there must be some sort of basic window drawing ability, because nano
works ok. Is there some similar app that I can start in runlevel 2
that I can
use like a CLI, Konsole, for example, that I normally use when I have
access
to KDE's Desktop?
I'm installing KDE, and the X window system at the moment, and usually
with
big installs, updates, etc, I save the Konsole history to my /home/user
directory, suitably date stamped, and in my History-files dir. It's
nice to
be able to save the history like this, as it's easy to look back to
when the
system was last updated for example, and see just whick packages were
installed, and any other stuff that was printed out while doing the
updates.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Nigel.
