Hi, Awhile back when I was going thru the install docs for some program, it mentioned a way to increase the size of the retained screen buffer for xterms. I think it was the -sl (for saved lines) option, but now I'm not sure if there was something else.
So how do you increase this buffer size in xterms and console terms. Maybe some setting in .bashrc?
Have a look at the $HOME/.Xdefaults. This is where you can set up some defaults that will be used whenever you start X. The entries in mine for xterm look like this: xterm*background: black xterm*foreground: green xterm.eightBitInput: true xterm*multiScroll: on xterm*jumpScroll: on xterm*font: -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-90-iso8859-1 xterm*ScrollBar: on xterm*SaveLines: 2000 ! xterm*VisualBell: true xterm.eightBitOutput: true Not sure how you would do this for a console. I've not had the problem yet, so I haven't bothered to find out how. If you figure it out, please let me know. HTH, Kevin
