Scroll bars and such

Hi!

A few questions:

How do I enable scroll bars in the terminal? I am trying to run pci -vvv but with all the info it scrolls on by!

Once I install X Windows, how do I start it?

I don’t know about scroll bars, but CTRL-ALT Up arrow will go back as long as
you aren’t outputting to the terminal.

I believe it has limited buffer in pterm. Also you always could use “command | more”, e.g.

pci -vvv | more

Read documentation from X vendor.

Yes but it can be increase via pterm properties dialog. The default is 64
i beleive,
I usually increase it to 512.

Properties dialog is accessible by pressing right mouse button over a pterm.

Mario, you have enough memory :wink: I often work without Photon at all, so I usually use “more”…
BTW, QNX’s “less” processes Up/Down arrow keys, it’s great :wink:
