I'm not sure where to put the dirty flag.
I still think in terms of building stuff with separate parts. :-) In that case, you would have an 8K x 1 bit dual port SRAM for the 'dirty' bits and a decoder for chip select so that it would parallel the RAM that was used for the character buffer (8K x 16). So with an ASIC, I suppose that you would have a small SRAM on the chip for that purpose.

Note that 132 x 60 characters is the largest VESA character mode. 132 * 60 = 7920 or 7.734375 K.
