Subject: [gentoo-user] kernel config setting for console scroll back
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 03:12:08
Message-Id: 86lgt5qznz.fsf@reader.local.lan
1 In make menuconfig, under:
2 Device Drivers → Graphics support → Console display driver support
3 (700) Scrollback Buffer Size (in KB)
4
5 I think the default was 64 but I like a big scrollback buffer.
6
7 As you see I set 700 but really didn't have much of an idea what that
8 would be in lines.
9
10 Can any one offer a close guestimate what 700 kb would be in lines.
11
12 That is pretty close to 1 mb isn't it?... but still what is that in
13 lines? I'm guessing 1 MB might be around 10,000 lines. Is that even
14 roughly close... if so I probably should have went higher.
