wow this looks great.  What kind of resolution is possible with this
approach?  You're still using double-scan (sending every line twice)?
Guess we could use the extra pixels to do some dithing for showing more
colors.  Maybe even some temporal dithering, if the flicker is
acceptable?

When running the VGA port, any chance that other software can still
execute in parallel?  Maybe we'd need a kernel driver processing an
interrupt once per line or once per frame, then locking the CPU for the
VGA data transfer.  How much %CPU would that leave for programs to
consume?

Just speculating how your code could be reused as an mplayer vidix
video-out driver :)
