Comment 3 for bug 573783

Will test on release version ASAP.
Sorry missed 03/05 message - never saw email alert.

Jeremy - have you any reason to assume that this has improved?
There was an improvement from v0910 to v1004
in that the former had 3 screen-clearances while the latter only 1
which may be graphics driver dependant as it appears to occur on
first X11 initialisation, though I don't see how that should destroy the console buffer
thus preventing Shift-PgUp inspection of console output prior to the clearance.

I will be testing in VMware and Virtualbox (maybe Quemu too) so different graphics drivers will be in use.
