After recently installing debian 6 lenny, and having installed many debian systems in the past, I can honestly say Xorg is beyond comprehension at this point. You can't even find docs to make the thing work as advertised, and certainly not on my system.<p>So my server foray was a bit different this time, I tried 6 with the kde desktop, not happening, I tried a few blends (to get the old kde desktop), not happening either. The server is for development, and the on the old one I used debian 5 and kde, since it seemed light enough, and usable to be able to configure easily. I tried xfce, things just not installing, so I gave up, and finally built a "black box" server.<p>All said and done it worked out, and I'm better for it. I eventually wound up installing Xorg, and the terminal window improved to where I could read most everything before it scrolled off the screen.<p>I seem to remember a time when you could get it to scroll a page at a time but can't find/remember the command or switch. Really the only thing I wound up missing was the scrolling ability, and since Xorg wouldn't configure beyond the very basic, a scrollbar at the side of the terminal window would be a VAST improvement, and would allow you to scroll the text editor as well.<p>Now I know that the arrow keys are taken, but I could probably use the control key in combination and get control to scroll up and down. MCPAN, perl and other outputs get pretty long, and having configured my terminal window to allow a few hundred lines, it really helps sometimes.<p>I anybody could give me a heads up where to start, or just come up with a way, it'd be great.
