>From man 3 vga:

          panning mode
               Depending on whether mode is on or off, enable or dis-
               able panning in a virtual screen.  If panning is on and
               the screen's size is larger than its actualsize, the
               displayed portion of the screen will pan to follow the
               mouse.  Setting the panning mode after the first attach
               of the #i driver has no effect.
