How do I increase scroll buffer in terminal (XQuartz OS X 10.11.6?
Hi, so far I tried these things:
export scrollback_lines=10000
export HISTFILESIZE=10000
export HISTSIZE=10000
No change, still very small schrollback

What you have been playing with are the 'bash' shell's command line history. That is to say how may of the commands you issue will be saved so you can call them back and issue them again.
You want Terminal -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Window -> Limit number of rows to: nnnnnn
The larger the number, the more RAM your terminal emulator will use, times the number of terminal emulator windows and tabs
