In Linux 15.0 the shift-page up/down doesn't scroll any longer for
text now off screen in console mode. Works fine in xwin (I'm using
wmaker). I had read somewhere this was taken out or doesn't exist any
longer. Can anyone shed any light on this. It is very useful when in
console mode as administrator. Only thing I've come up with is to make
root bring up xwin.

Yes, that is mentioned either in the 15.0 Change Log or it
was noted in LQ (Linux Questions), I forgot where I saw it
but it was from PV.

A change in the kernel dropped that feature. But you can
always use tmux (or screen) to get something similar.

Thanks, John, and I'll look into that. At this point rather a
nuisance when in console mode. (maybe nobody else uses that now! ha ha)

I found this confirmation from PV at linuxquestions:

Here Linus is cited when the feature was removed:

Thanks, Henrik.

Thanks and rather enlightening from Linus. Guess that dates me and I'm
old school, using that a fair amount in console mode, especially when
building programs. ha ha John pointed out earlier that screen or tmux
might work. Never used either but played around with screen and think
it could be useful in this regard and will look into commands a bit
more.
