People will have to get used to the video data being converted from 1 
bpp to 8 bpp internally, just as they have become used to 2 and 4 bpp 
data being converted to 8 bpp. It shouldn't come as a shock, since this 
is perfectly logical behaviour, as long as we don't have "pal1", "pal2" 
or "pal4" pixel formats.
