The fb modes included are for PAL TV. You need NTSC ones. Here's what
I use:

mode "ntsc"
    geometry 640 240 640 240 16
    timings 79443 72 40 15 5 48 3
endmode

mode "ntscl"
    geometry 640 480 640 480 16
    timings 79443 72 40 30 10 48 5
    laced true
endmode

I can't promise they'll work for you, but I use them successfully with
my G200 and custom VGA to NTSC converter hardware (which doesn't mess
with the sync timing -- it just does colorspace conversion and color
carrier modulation). "ntsc" is 640x240 non-interlaced, and "ntscl" is
640x480 interlaced.
