can't scroll in console

[rubing]

I am unable to scroll in the console using shift + pgup. It works fine in an xterminal, however when i change over to a basic text console it does not work. I am using a compaq presario 700US laptop.

You probably don't have a large enough framebuffer. You can increase it somewhere in the menuconfig...

My SCROLLBACK_SIZE=128,

I remember it working at some point. Is that 128k?? I think that should be enough.

Whenever you switch from one virtual terminal to another, you lose your scrollback buffer.
