I installed a Pundit-R (so with the ATI onboard VGA) for a friend of mine a few weeks ago with FC3 and mythTV following Jarod's guide. After some struggle with the ATI driver (compiled and patched from source) everything worked (including TV-out). It runs a PVR350 with the ivtv driver and mythtv-0.18 just fine. I only added a simple soundcard to the machine because of the optical spdif on the front of the Pundit-R instead of the back. The soundcard I used was a Terratec Aureon PCI (<$25) and installation was very easy regarding the optical spdif (just some mixer settings I believe).
