OK, let's try something different... and fail:
I have a PC X800Pro that I believe is in working condidition (I have no PC to make sure).
It looks like this http://microdream.co.uk/ati-radeon-x800-pro-256mb-gddr3-agp-video-graphics-card.html#.Vrouz_nhCHs
Try it in the G4 and it won't even boot (what a surprise, neither did the X1950GT:()
Try it in the G5 and it is not listed in pciscan output (but MOS did boot)
There must be somthing I fail to understand in AGP magic...
Should I try to reflash it?
There is no supported Mac rom for the X800Pro, so you can not re-flash it.
An Apple X800XT would work in the G5 and is probably the best current option for this machine.
Very few Apple Radeon 9600 Pro cards will work in a G4.
I have one on my desk now, a PC/Mac compatible PN 109-A7353-00.
These, and the very earliest Mac 9600s will work, but they can be hard to locate.
Most available 9800 are for the G5.
