Please put the changelog before the patch in the patch file, so I can copy it from
there.
Put a cons_vcons_set_dimension callback into the console, which is called from libcons
refresh function (and possibly if the change records indicate the dimensions have
changed, but that is not supported yet and isn't as easy, just focus on refresh and
one-time initialization for now).
Then get rid of all these calls to the set resolution function.
The drivers also get a set_dimension function. Resolution is the wrong word here (a
resolution is for example pixel per inch, while this is really a dimension, more text
cells will require a larger screen).
Please add keys to scroll the pad around, that allows you to at least play a bit with
larger dimensions than screensize in ncursesw.
Please revert the breaking up of line in write of ncursesw, it shouldn't be required
with pads.
After removing this endwin() you can just as well return 0 instead ERR. 'x' should
release the lock and call console_exit() instead endwin and exit().

Oh, and please imlpement the set_dimes call for the VGA driver as well, and make it
truncate/wrap correctly for different dimensions. We won't be able to implement a
full pad window as easily as in ncursesw, but at least for lower dimensions it can be
used and for larger dimensions it will at least show the upper left corner properly.

He is the new patch that implements everything you asked for.
M-w + j,k,l,i can be used to scroll the pad. Because this sucks when doing real work
I've added an "autoscroll" option. It scrolls the pad automaticly, depending on the
cursor position. Autoscroll can be enabled/disabled with "C-w a".
For the vga driver the changes were a bit more difficult. For example scrolling is
disabled if the vcons is bigger than the physical screen.
cons_vcons_set_dimension also deallocates the scarce resources now so cons_vcons_clear
is not called anymore in cons_vcons_refresh. I did think about this, this is not a
mistake. It is not possible to deallocate the resources before
cons_vcons_set_dimension and deallocating it after the call is also impossible.
Please notice that this patch is actually two patches + changeslog entries.
Please look at my changelog entry, it seems a bit to big for me, possibly because I
split it up in logical sections. (First part for set_dimensions related stuff, 2nd
part for pad related stuff, the other parts are for bugfixes, etc.). I appreciate
comments. :)
