The way you descibed (fade out) is/was already implemented in VTI 2.5 beta
4 & 5. What did you mean with "VTI does grayscale by cheating.  It does not
support grayscale on the 82 line of calcs.  It watches for the video ram
port being switched, and if it's in a grayscale pattern, it displays
grayscale."

I guess you meant to say that VTI does this "video ram port"-trick with the
'higher' Ti calcs? btw, shouldn't it do the fade out too then? Else it
would cause tremendous flicker on your monitor...
