hard scrolling vs soft scrolling (console)
Note: This pertains to the console only, not terms within X.
When I was running Redhat, my favourite pagers 'less' and 'more' would instantly display a new page when the spacebar key is pressed. Now in Slackware, the pagers scroll the new page into view. And scrolling is mighty slow, and resource intensive (This is on a Compaq Armada 1540DM, Pentium-MMX@150MHz, 32MB ram). Something like my situation is described in the Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO: Quote:
How would I get that instant response from redhat, without going redhat? |
if your terminal is set to use video card vga graphics mode (framebuffer)
at boot in the lilo config this is the trouble it looks cool though just turn it off or make another lilo entry with it off so you can test |
oh crap
Damn.. Redhat didn't have the framebuffer...
Will try, thanks! The only problem would be the resolution. Even though I don't really use the screen, it will center the 640x480 console on a 800x600 monitor (It's a LCD laptop display.. fixed resolution) Is there an alternative way to use the whole screen? |
