AFAIK this only works with R500-based cards. The FireGL X3 is R400-based.
Yes, only R500 and later cards are supported via Atom BIOS.
Getting a FireGL X3 running in a Mac is tricky.
I ended up farming out later cards to a friend who specializes in converting cards for Mac use.
And for G5 use I would definitely recommend the Apple X800XT over the FireGL X3.
For a card that does not have to have Mac firmware, a PC Radeon X1950Pro AGP card works well.
