Never saw problems with scrolling in xterm. I personally use konsole.

And WTF is "native split scrolling"?

If sinbad means to split a terminal window and let each portion have its own scroll buffer, I'd recommend tmux, regardless of terminal emulator. Splitting the "screen" is something tmux excels at.

By the way, AFAIK fbterm is a replacement for kernel built-in terminal. Xterm is an X11 terminal emulator.
