Something odd going on there, certainly:
(WW) (640x480,MonitorTvRGB) mode clock 25.2MHz exceeds DDC maximum 0MHz
and
(--) VIA(0): Virtual size is 1856x1392 (pitch 1856)
(**) VIA(0):  Default mode "1856x1392": 218.3 MHz (scaled from 0.0 MHz), 
86.4 kHz, 60.0 Hz
(II) VIA(0): Modeline "1856x1392"  218.30  1856 1952 2176 2528  1392 
1393 1396 1439 -hsync +vsync

Try changing your Monitor section to this:
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "MonitorTvRGB"
	VendorName   "tv"
	ModelName    "SABA"
	Option       "NoDDC"
         HorizSync    28-96
         VertRefresh  45-150
EndSection

Also, in your Device section you have options to set TV characteristics, 
like
	Option	"TVType"	"PAL"
	Option	"TVOutput"	"Composite"
	Option	"TVDeflicker"	"2"
but you also have
	Option	"ActiveDevice"	"CRT"
which will disable the TV output. If you want TV output, you need
	Option	"ActiveDevice"	"TV"
or
	Option	"ActiveDevice"	"CRT,TV"

Cheers,

John.
