Hello,
You need to be more specific before we can help you.
X11 is a windowing system, not an actual application you can normally
interact with in the way you describe.
The behaviour you describe sounds like that of a window manager (such
as Ion or desktop environments such as KDE, GNOME, XFCE) or a specific
application such as xterm, eterm or aterm.
For the purpose of this email I shall assume you are in fact referring
to the behaviour of a terminal emulator.
Many terminal emulators, such as xterm (the default in OS X I
believe), provide ways to scroll upwards/downwards.
You may be able to use your mouse's scroll wheel (if you have one) or
a scroll wheel emulator. Otherwise you should be able to activate
scroll bars within the terminal by setting up a configuration file.
A quick grep of the command "man xterm" shows that you can pass the
following argument to xterm on the command line to force a scrollbar
to appear:
Also hold down both Ctrl and MiddleButton in the Xterm window to bring
up the
VT Options menu, which has a scrollbar check box.
$ xterm -sb -rightbar
Alternatively, you can touch a file called ".Xdefaults" in your home
folder and place the following few lines in it:
XTerm*saveLines: 10000
XTerm*ScrollBar: true
XTerm*Scrollbar.DrawBorder: true
XTerm*Scrollbar.DrawArrows: true
XTerm*Scrollbar.AlwaysVisible: true
Next time you launch an xterm, it should have a scrollbar.
I am no expert, but I hope this helps.

Hey guys. This may be an easy question. Is there a way for me to
scroll up in X11 when in full screen mode. It is driving me nuts not
being able to. Please let me know if you have found a way to get a
scroll bar!
