Are you sure? On my T43, I lose exactly 23 lines at the point my screen switches from it's default mode. Note that I need to use VESA and SC_PIXEL_MODE on this system.

And, it's SC_HISTORY_SIZE. I'm unclear as to what you refer to as 'slideshow" like teleporting', though. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
