Right. The problem is that the wscons system right now expects each
virtual screen to contain all the info needed for it in its backing store.
For an all-graphics screen like macppc has, that's many MB. Per screen.

There's a desire to make it work with macppc, and have the wscons system
only save a text-cell array. But it hasn't happened yet. :-(

Take care,
