Very nice indeed, thank you :-)

Probably because the keys get interpreted in the dom0 console.

I use the 'screen' utility on dom0 and start xm console sessions in
there. The key combination ctrl-[ enters a copy mode. From there you can
scroll up and down using up/down keys and 'vi' keys ('k' for up, 'j' for
down). When you're finished reading just hit enter twice to leave the
copy mode.

If somebody knows a better way, I'd like to know :-)

Ugh. I meat ctrl-a [ instead of ctrl=[ (ctrl-a is the 'screen' hot key).

xm console is a serial console--not a VGA console. The right way to
think of it is that xm console is like attaching a serial cable to a
physical machine and running minicom.

Scrolling is only available for virtual terminals (which are usually
displayed on VGA consoles). I think a virtual VGA terminal is on the
plan for 3.0 and that should provide the desired functionality.
