I have just upgraded to kernel 2.2.6, and I have noticed that the console
seems to be behaving differently when I use ^s to freeze it.
If I freeze the display with ^s, and then use shift-pgup to scroll
backwards, the text will "jump" back down to where I originally scroll
locked when any new text arrives. The new text is not displayed until I
use ^q.
If anyone has had this problem as well, I'd be interested in hearing any
workarounds for it. Unfortunately, this problem makes using the
scrollback next to impossible on a busy vc.
Thanks in advance,
Chris (Remove NOSPAM to reply)
