Yes tmux would be a hack i use it already on sparc64 over ssh.
But here the idea was using just vanilla console with the least possible
clutter. The idea of fb on console could enable the porting of software
like the fbi picture viewer on linux, but if the scrollback gets disabled
the loss to me is more than the benefit.
well, if you really don't like it and don't wish to use X, turn off the
DRM with UKC> and "disable inteldrm" or "disable radeondrm", and your
old text mode console will be back. And X will be broke.
As you are running on a laptop, I'd suspect the lack of X will be a far
bigger showstopper. Personally, I happily trade the scrollback for the
better than 80x25 text mode (80x25 is so..1970s), and use tmux or an
xterm if I want scrollback.
But yes, faq7.3 (among others...DRM has complicated much of this page!)
needs to be updated (oops).

Hi all,
since installing 5.4 release on my amd64 laptop I am enjoying really nice
(sun like!) fonts due to the implemented framebuffer for CLI.
Unfortunately scrollback with shift+pgup does not work anymore and faq
7.3
does not mention this at all.
What should i do to have scrollback again?
Btw, to mitigate this fact, is there maybe a mode to determine the
geometry
of cli framebuffer, like 80x50 or 100x40 etc?
Thanks
tmux(1) has a scroll-back buffer ('Ctrl-b [' to enter copy mode,
use arrow or pgup/pgdown keys to scroll, use 'q' to exit copy mode).
Not quite the same, but perhaps that will help you.
