Comment:
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().

Comment:
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.
