Can you elaborate on that one? By switching to a different vconsole, do you mean pressing Alt-F2 and then Alt-F1 again?
Yep. That should clear the scrollback info, as long as *BSD uses the VGA memory to handle the scrolling (I'm assuming).
Uh, no. That won't work. That is why I asked you to elaborate: Perhaps you meant something else.
But FreeBSD uses some other mechanism than VGA pages. FWIW, you can recompile the system to have one virtual console for every Alt-Fnn key available, something you could not all fit into VGA memory anyway.
I checked this, just to be sure, but the scroll mechanism works even after logging out and switching between consoles. It even remembers the states of CapsLock, NumLock, and ScrollLock for each virtual console, a nice example of fine engineering.
