>Environment:
Architecture: alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:
The TGA console is always initialized to 80x34
chars. Depending on font and resolution, different (bigger) x to y
layouts are possible. Currently only a centered window of 80x34 chars
is used, even if there is much more space.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set TGA to bigger resolution than 640x480 and see that only
part of the screen is used.
>Fix:
The 80x34 is simply hardcoded in the source. My patch provides
a way to use the whole screen. Ideally the dimensions (or video mode)
should be selectable with wsconsctl etc..
Here's a patch:

I believe that Nathan Williams made this change because on the
larger screens scrolling ended up being very slow. I believe that
the correct strategy to solve this is to use the larger size
initially but to provide a mechanism by which the size can be
changed from userland. This would solve both issues. I am going
to look into this over the course of the next few weeks...
