: After switching from the current VT to another one and back, scrollback
: no longer works for the original VT. Is this a bug or a feature? :-)
It was designed to be like that.
Kernel memory is too valuable to be spent on large scrollback buffers.
For the current console the scrollback is for free since videocard
memory is used.
Using the program screen you can get arbitrary scrollback on all consoles.
