>Description:
I have WSDISPLAY_SCROLLSUPPORT enabled in my 2.0_BETA/i386
kernel, and I cannot use shift/alt/ctrl+page/cursor-up/down
to scroll back on any of my virtual consoles.
options.4 doesn't document the option (yeah, trying to RTFM
to find out... failed!).
>How-To-Repeat:
enable WSDISPLAY_SCROLLSUPPORT in your 2.0-style kernel
try to scroll back.
fail.
try to RTFM.
fail.
>Fix:
Linux uses control+page up/down to scroll on virtual consoles.
It would be nice if that was used when WSDISPLAY_SCROLLSUPPORT
is enabled too. Regardless, the option should be documented.
