Composite sync could be generated with a very small circuit (one linear transistor, one XOR and few resistors). Don't remember exactly how to do it, but I connected an Apollo fixed sync monitor to my PC box with one I built in the past. I don't have it handy now because I gave it to a friend of mine. Search for the Apollo FAQ. I got it there. btw, you can use svgatextmode to create a text mode with the right refresh rate. It supports kind of modelines like Xfree.
