The current 8.12.10 driver is easily hackable (I'm using PAL-I output
over S-Video, 800x600) to get a steady TV-Out signal instead of the
triple-stacked picture you get without the fix. However, I have got an
annoying vertical band of interference (moves left to right at about
1Hz) using this driver currently (not sure if it needs a dedicated
modeline to fix this) and so hope ATI finally pull their socks up and
release a non-crippled driver for the Pundit-R userbase.

For details of the hacks and other useful info, check out
www.rage3d.com and their linux driver forum.
