My Asus N6200 works with component (and it _is_ worth the effort!). It has
a little plastic dongle box with Red/Green/Blue and S-Video sockets, which
sounds similar to your description. Here's some of the relevant xorg.conf
sections that work for me ...
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
EndSection
Section "Device"

Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM)"
BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
Option "UseEvents" "true"
Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
Option "DPI" "100 x 100"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "MythTV HD576i"
Device "GeForce 6200 MythTV"
Monitor "Sun 19in"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "1"
Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1024x768 +0+0, TV:1024x768 +0+0"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPONENT"
Option "TVStandard" "HD576i"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "TV"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Option "UseEvents" "true"

EndSection
