Re: Scrollback default in terminal emulators?



be careful how big your scrollback buffer is.  once upon a time i
increased kvt's (KDE's vt based on rxvt i think) scrollback buffer to some
insane amount each kvt consumed like 40megs of memory once enough stuff
was in the buffer. ever since i stuck with the default buffer.
