Patch for ncursesw (bug-fixes, other resolutions)

2003-07-18 Thread Marco Gerards
Hi, This patch adds support for non-80x25 resolutions to the ncursesw driver. It also adds a generic interface to tell the display driver which resolution to use. If that resolution is not available it uses the next best resolution. I made some changes to ncursesw so it uses a "pad", from the cur
