Bug Description
I'm running powertop on more-or-less stock Oneiric, and the 'tunables' page is entirely full, perhaps because it's reporting on so many cores (it's an 8 thread Intel i7).
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure there are extra entries but the terminal cannot show them and there appears to be no way to page or scroll within the tunables page. Dragging the terminal window and refreshing gets you a few more lines, but it's impossible to make the window big enough to see all of them. When scrolling the highlighted line to the bottom, it eventually arrives at highlighting the VI/EMACS style command line, and hence won't scroll further.
On the plus side I think the 'bad' entries are pushed to the top.
Can I suggest some kind of scrolling behaviour or some simple and intuitive interaction to page? Perhaps it's there but I can't trigger it.
