Text-mode applications should get their screen size from the terminal
settings, i.e. directly from the kernel, unless that information is
missing. If you run 'xterm -geometry 80x25' you get a terminal that has
the size you're looking for. The 'stty -a' command will show the actual
dimensions, btw.
Editing the geometry in termcap/terminfo will not do anything unless you
use a real serial port to connect to your system, xterm et. al. will
override it.
