fullscreen jaguar notes

Hi was unable to get mol working fullscreen (console) with MacOS-X
jaguar and also to get it working under X at a resolution not 800x600.

Thanks to Brett, I am now able to do that. I just want to share the tip
as it was not obvious at all for me.

At least in my configuration, I can specify what I want in molrc.video,
when I start mol, it starts with the specified resolution. But early
during the macos boot, the resolution switch back to the resolution set
in the MacOS-X settings. It is then possible to change the resolution in
the MAC environment and mol automatically adjust the window size.
Now to be able to have fullscreen console mol, I have to set in MacOS
the resolution to fit the resolution of the real screen.

I don't know if it is MacOS-X or jaguar specific. I was expecting that
the specified resolution (in molrc.video) will be imposed to MacOS but
this is not true.

Note: I don't know if it is possible but I would like to run mol
fullscreen in a console and not at all under X. Currently when I switch
back to X, I have the mol window.
