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.
