Can't wait for 6.4 then.

Just for the archives, scrollback support for rasops consoles (like 
inteldrm and radeondrm) was added after 6.3.

I'm guessing

dmesg | grep drm

Should help since it won't work with inteldrm nor radeondrm. 



getting scrollback buffer on OpenBSD 6.3

2018-08-26 Thread Alceu Rodrigues de Freitas Junior

Hello folks,

I'm running OpenBSD 6.3 over a Aspire One netbook, and looking for 
enabling the "scrollback buffer" mentioned in the related FAQ 
(http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#Scrollback).


Unfortunately, it doesn't mention which combination of platforms and 
hardware combinations it is supposed to work, neither mentions how to 
get a kernel with such feature enabled.


I tried to Google some info about it, but couldn't find anything that 
helped.


How can I check if it should be working? SHIFT+PgUp doesn't work.

How can I check if the running kernel that I have (GENERIC.MP#107 amd64) 
already has the option compiled?


If not, what do I need to enable in the kernel to have the scrollback 
buffer enabled?


Thanks in advance.
