Hi folks,
I really like to get Tux displayed on the screen at boot time
(you should see our SMP machines with hyperthreading activated),
but if I enter single user mode, then the first 5 lines remain
unusable. I can clear the whole screen, but on scrolling upwards
the first 5 lines are stuck.
Any idea?
Regards
Harri

You need to issue a reset. setterm -reset will do it. Or:
echo -ne '\033c\033]R'
should.
Either look for the r1, r2, r3 and/or rs strings in /etc/termcap for
the linux terminal type, or use infocmp(1) to get the info:
infocmp -L linux|egrep reset

I'm used to clear them with a shift-pgup/shift-pgdn scroll sequence. May be
it's not the best solution, but it has worked for me for years now, so I'm
still using it.
Cheers,
Willy
