kernel/dev/mouse.c held the pointer inside literal 800x600 bounds. That
was correct while 800x600 was the only mode the loader could set, which
it was until the resolution became a boot-time choice. At 1280x800 the
pointer simply stopped two thirds of the way across and would not go
further -- which reads as the cursor drifting away from the host's rather
than as a clamp.
vga.c grows vga_get_width/vga_get_height for it. The mode is chosen at
boot now, so nothing above the framebuffer may hardcode its size, and
these are the first two callers that needed to ask.
Verified that the system still builds and boots at 1280x800, and that
bootcheck is 108 [ok] and schcom-test passes. I did not manage to
photograph the pointer past the old limit in the time available -- there
is no reader for /dev/mouse in the image and the screendump attempt did
not resolve, so the fix rests on inspection rather than on a picture.
