    Is it possible to use two GFX cards with MorphOS in a G5 system? I was thinking about installing a R200 card in a PCI slot for all the games which wont work with the R300 driver, like Warzone and Warp3D games.

    My idea was to use the R300 card as the normal GFX card for MorphOS and when starting a game it would switch to the R200 card.

    R200 and R300 are both linked to the Radeon driver, so only 1 card atm.

    Useing a PCI-Voodoo and an AGP Radeons on the other side should work (does in a G4 never tested in a G5)

    As a follow up here - didn't work for me. No matter what I did in my G5 I had no love. I'm very hopeful that at some point in time either w3d will work with my r300 or that maybe I'll be able to run 2x radeons at the same time. Fingers crossed :)
