You need the following options after the first 4 lines:

Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Videocard0"
         Driver      "via"
         VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
         BoardName   "VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter"
         Option      "Active Device" "CRT TV"
         Option      "TVType" "NTSC"
         Option      "TVOutput" "S-Video"
EndSection

This presumes that your board is using the S-Video output.
