Guilmette >Release: FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE amd64 >Organization: entr0py >Environment: System: FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE amd64 >Description: The man page for syscons(4) makes clear that the console driver already has the capability to ``scroll'' the text of the currently selected virtual console forward and backwards. It does this via a combination of the ScrollLock key and then the PageUp/PageDown or Up/Down arrow keys. It would be Nice if the console driver could also be induced to perform line-by-line up/down scrolling via the scroll wheel on a wheeled mouse, as in an xterm window under X. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: Sorry, I do not have patches to propose at this time. I have always depended on the kindness of strangers. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
