 Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2012 3:45 pm Post subject: Terminal lines display |
 |
|
My question is simple : where can I change my config in order to see more lines in terminal (I mean for any TTY and X terminals too) ?
It's sad to be blocked in scrolling up while trying to watch "emerge -s" results 
Couldn't find this in documentation or google.... |

| Code: | grom@C6820s ~ $ cat .Xdefaults
...
...
xterm*saveLines: 1024
...
... |
this seems to work for me, I use xterm,
but I do not know how this holds up for tty...
EDIT:
also emerge -s is time consuming,
have you tried eix something ?

My Kernel parameters, as show, setup my 'Console' (as opposed to X xterm) as having more lines, more columns as well as larger scrollback!
| Code: | kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 video=uvesafb:1280x1024-16@60,mtrr:3,ywrap fbcon=scrollback:64K vmalloc=192M
|
This relies on v86d being configured in your kernel
| Code: | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/usr/share/v86d/initramfs"
|
and having sys-apps/v86d installed.

For X terminals, there should be an option somewhere in preferences to increase the scrollback.
For the console, this might be what you're looking for:
| Code: | .config - Linux/x86_64 3.3.0 Kernel Configuration
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
┌────────────────────────── Scrollback Buffer Size (in KB) ───────────────────────────┐
│ CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE: │
│ │
│ Enter the amount of System RAM to allocate for the scrollback │
│ buffer. Each 64KB will give you approximately 16 80x25 │
│ screenfuls of scrollback buffer │
│ │
│ Symbol: VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE [=128] │
│ Type : integer │
│ Range : [1 1024] │
│ Prompt: Scrollback Buffer Size (in KB) │
│ Defined at drivers/video/console/Kconfig:37 │
│ Depends on: HAS_IOMEM [=y] && VT [=y] && VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK [=y] │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Graphics support │
│ -> Console display driver support │
│ -> VGA text console (VGA_CONSOLE [=y]) │
│ -> Enable Scrollback Buffer in System RAM (VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK [=y]) │
│ │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────( 99%)──┤
│ < Exit > │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ |
