currently it's VGA only. i suppose i anticipated similar modifications
to other wscons framebuffers that support multiple WxH specifications
for the console and virtual terminals. i'm not a wscons guru though,
so if vga is the only thing like that maybe your suggestion is the
appropriate change :)

the corruption was fixed by the vga_setscreentype()

i don't think it is. i've been running this for a little while now,
and modulo some emulation bugs under screen(1) connecting to solaris
2.x machines (which i've always gotten with wscons) i think it's ok.
