Why not get the data book for one of the VLSI video drivers?  TI has one,
TMS9918A that looks simple to design into a system.  (I've never
used one, so I don't know if it will do what you want.)  I would recommend
looking for VLSI chips and writing to the manufacturers to get data books.

Is there any reason to try building such a beast in MSI or SSI any more?
