I've got the same problem trying to display on a PAL CRT television using a VGA-> SCART lead.

mobo: Albatron KI690-AM2 with onboard RS690G chipset (Radeon Xpress 1250)
OS: OpenSuSE 10.3 with 2.6.24 kernel for x86_64
X server 7.2.0
xorg.conf: Driver "radeon" # version 6.8.0 built from git repository as of Apr 1st 2008 (commit fc9af578...1b0e)
                 Modeline "768x576i" 14.76 768 824 888 944 576 581 586 625 -hsync -vsync interlace

When I try the xrandr switch the black vsync gap disappears so I get full screen, but the y-coords are wrong (- looks like the X mouse events are generated as y-mouse co-ord x 2) and only a fraction (top left corner) of my desktop is visible.
The patch has no effect on my setup - presumably legacy_crtc.c not used for my card... does anyone have any clues as to a work-around until this bug is fixed properly ? I had a quick look but didn't spot the same code to what was changed in the legacy_crtc.c patch...

I also tried the 'radeonhd' v1.1.0 driver, but looks like it won't support interlace yet...

Thanks
