Ed, I was trying to debug an unrelated problem today and noticed what appear to be some console regressions. I'm running r198216 i386 SMP with no local patches. The two things I tried doing were using less(1) on a group of files and running 'make config' on a port. In the first case it would display a few files (small ones, less than one screenful) but after 4 or 5 files the display would stop about 1/2 way down the screen. I use less with the following environment string if it helps: LESS='-eiFP?f%f .?n?m(file %i of %m) ..?e(END) ?x- Next\: %x.:?pB%pB\%..%t' Doing 'make config' in ports uses dialog, which exhibited the same basic problem, the 1/3 to 1/2 of the display would have the output from dialog and the rest would be blank. The specific port was emulators/virtualbox but I tried a few others and got the same result. Doing both of these things works in an xterm (roxterm to be specific) so it seems to be a console issue. My kernel config is pretty close to GENERIC with a bunch of stuff removed. The only thing even vaguely console-related is 'options VESA' but I don't have anything custom configured for my console except keybell="visual" in /etc/rc.conf.
