Hence I was a bit surprised. It works, but if you change consoles (Alt+F1, etc) it "forgets" the scroll buffer of the previous console. -- []'s|.~.

It's done the same way in grub. Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add something like vga=791 (1024x768x16bit) to the end of the line. Here's a cut from my menu.lst title linux kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 hdd=ide-scsi vga=791 Then run the script /boot/grub/install.sh > Actually, I like framebuffer independently of Aurora - I cannot imagine how > could I live with these 80x24 ugly super-large characters on 17" monitor > before :-) So how do you change the number of lines you can scroll back and review with shift/pageup? -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, I will do! > Actually, I like framebuffer independently of Aurora - I cannot imagine how > could I live with these 80x24 ugly super-large characters on 17" monitor > before :-) -andrej Actually I do not like framebuffer - it's noticeably slower than pure text output. And as far as 80x24 is concerned - simply change the font to something smaller, and you'll get 80x50 - which is good enough for *ME*. No need for framebuffer just for this. And 132xXX is just too damn small for my eyes on a 17". But does this mean that I have to use Framebuffer when I want to use Aurora? I don't think I'd actually like this (since it's too slow...) Hmm, are there any advantages in using framebuffer?

Doesn't work, since they are, like someone else already said, still at -120mdk and require Aurora -120mdk, which is not available. But okay, assuming that they were at -121mdk: Would this be all I had to do?

For troubleshooting, I think that especially Aurora is of no use at all. I even set in /etc/sysconfig/init BOOTUP=verbose, so that the messages printed during boot are somewhat more informative.
