Hi,
As requested, I'm creating a new thread instead of continuing on this old one from last year.
I'm want to allow scrolling on tty1 without completely disabling KMS modesetting. I'm have Intel integrated graphics.
I've tried the following combination:
[estan@pyret ~]$ egrep "^MODULES" /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
MODULES="i915"
[estan@pyret ~]$
2. Disabled clearing of messages:
[estan@pyret ~]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/getty\@tty1.service.d/noclear.conf
[Service]
TTYVTDisallocate=no
[estan@pyret ~]$
3. Increased the scrollback buffer:
[estan@pyret ~]$ egrep "^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="fbcon=scrollback:512k"
[estan@pyret ~]$
But still I cannot scroll using Shift+PgUp on tty1. I can see the last half page or so of "[ OK ] ..." startup messages, but Shift+PgUp does nothing, it's as if the buffer is empty.
I know that I can get boot messages with dmesg / journalctl -b et.c. But I'd like to be able to scroll on tty1 as well.
Any ideas?

You can scroll on all ttys after the KMS has settled. Run 'ls -a ~' and see if you can scroll.
Is it something 'nice to have' or do you need it?

Not a direct solution to your problem, but have you tried terminal or tmux ?
