Thanks for your additions. Some more observation as to what was said by the developers:
1. 3D driver for R300* will come soonish, not Gallium3D based. (20:11)
2. PowerBook G4 support will not be released before R300 is supported in 3D (and fully in 2D). (39:48)
3. PCI cards that don't currently work in PowerMac G4 but work in Pegasos (e.g. SATA) are supposed to be supported in PowerMac G4 with MorphOS 2.8. (31:08)
From those points I conclude that PowerBook G4 support will come not until *after* MorphOS 2.8 release.
* The developer mentions that R300 includes up to Radeon X850, which is not true. X850 is R400 based. For a full list of R300 based cards (the highest numbered one being the X1050) go
there.

I think that was its predecessor RtCW.
