It's no regression then, because i've tried netbsd-current somewhen in the 
middle of 2013 with the same problem but no time to look at it.

Non-mp GENERIC makes no difference.

It's the GENERIC.MP from netbsd.org's cvs HEAD.

I attached 3 images. The first shows the screen just after bootup, the second 
shows the screen after scrolling up or down completely, on the last one i 
scrolled half up.

Yes.

I just tested different video modes by setting output-device to screen:mode in 
OBP. With r1024x768x60, r1024x768x70, scrolling works. With r1280x1024x66 and 
r1280x1024x76m it doesn't.

Thank you for your help so far and the fast reply.
