Says: press the `slock' key (with some PC keyboard description). However, I have got a MB Pro where no such key is available. Thus, I may repeat my question: How can I get console scolling working on my MacBook Pro 13''? slock is the key above the home key; on an Apple A1048 USB keyboard, that is labelled F15. I don't think the 13" Macbook Pro has that key available, so you might have to attach an external USB keyboard. Try dmesg | less instead, or using SSH from a handy terminal emulator with scrolling windows (like Terminal.app from the base MacOS X) is likely to be easier... Regards, -- -Chuck
