Re: tty uses only bottom line of screen

I had the same problem some time ago. It would happen when I used less. As time went by more and moreof my consoles would suffer that. It stopped on its own after upgrading to a new kernel (at the time I was using 2.0.0 ) and I guess I must have upgraded less at some point. I know this isn't
