This is something that will have to be built into the video
controller.  Perhaps opcode 4 should be a set sync mode operation with
the bottom eight bits being the sync mode bits:

7: reserved
6: reserved
5: reserved
4: reserved
3:  hsync polarity (1 - positive, 0 - negative)
2:  vsync polarity (1 - positive, 0 - negative)
1:  composite sync
0:  sync on green

This way, the setting can easily be taken from the X modeline and
compiled into the video controller program.  Very likely that this
opcode would only occur once per program, however it might be a good
solution.

the type of sync the monitor needs (H&V, Composite, on Green).

Sync on green could be an issue.  We need to have a look at the design
and see what it would require.  The others are no problem.
