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"
    Identifier "GeForce 6200 MythTV"
    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" 
    Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
    Option "DPI" "100 x 100"

    SubSection "Display"
        Depth 24
        Virtual 1024 768
        Modes "1024x768"
    EndSubSection
EndSection


cheers.
