>Description:

The man page for syscons(4) makes clear that the console driver already has
the capability to ``scroll'' the text of the currently selected virtual
console forward and backwards.  It does this via a combination of the
ScrollLock key and then the PageUp/PageDown or Up/Down arrow keys.

It would be Nice if the console driver could also be induced to perform
line-by-line up/down scrolling via the scroll wheel on a wheeled mouse,
as in an xterm window under X.

>How-To-Repeat:

N/A

>Fix:

Sorry, I do not have patches to propose at this time.

I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.
