worse, I am afraid. The "load_detection" option makes absolutely no
difference, and now I cannot enable S-video at all:


Your VGA-0 output is marked as unknown (load detection on Xpress 200 board doesn't work well yet), it's using the second CRTC (the hardware pipeline in the board). The internal panel (LVDS) uses the first CRTC. So there is no CRTC available for S-video (only 2 are available for all outputs).

You should disable VGA-0 so that one CRTC becomes available. If you don't care at all about the VGA output, you should just add:
   Option "Monitor-VGA-0" "Foo"
to the Device section and add the following section above:
   Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "Foo"
   Ignore "true"
   EndSection

The upstream developers are well aware of this bogus load detection on Xpress fortunatelly (that's why it says "unknown" in stead of a vague "disconnected" as earlier). There are some other bug reports about this. So I hope we can expect some fix soon.
