Copy mode does work, but if you want a normal scrollback that is also possible, there's a setting you can put in a screenrc in addition to turning off alt-screen to create that effect. I don't use (or remember precisely) the trick to this, because I found it confusing to have the scrollback contain bits and pieces of each screen rather than the continuous scrollback in copy mode. If you want to do it anyway though I'm sure I could find it, or you could ask on the screen-devel list (which is finally active again).

Also, I must admit to being almost completely naive when it comes to terminal settings. I just take what I'm given in most cases, but this sounds atleast partially related to a pet peeve of mine. I use screen, but text that is scrolled off is gone to me (although if I maximize the window, I'll get some back). I'd like to be able to scroll the terminal up to see what had passed, but I just see what was there before I started screen.
screen's history doesn't show up in the terminal emulator's scrollback because screen is using the alt-screen terminal capability. I think the only way to make this work is to build your
That said, you can easily get at scrollback in a screen session: look up "copy mode" in the manual. This is kept per "window".
