    I've got few *BSD reports that say this is not working.

So, I think that this is related to LINUX and its LINUX TEXTMODE CONSOLE.
($TERM=linux)

can someone test this on different kernel versions ?
it works with linux v2.4.x what about older/newer versions ?

(BTW, for me works even I'm I'm ssh-ing ... I only have linux so I can't
test any other combinations)
