As I wrote in comment #34, only X1950/G5 combination works. X800Pro/G5 combination doesn't work because the feature relies on AtomBIOS, which is built into Radeon R500 and up*. X800 is R400-based.

OpenFirmware display requires actual PPC ROM (be it genuine or flashed) present in the actual graphics card.

Yes, with R500-based AGP graphics card on G5.

It depends primarily on the presence of AtomBIOS*.
Edit: * While early AtomBIOS versions came already somewhen during R400 series, the MorphOS AtomBIOS parser seems to require the newer AtomBIOS versions that started with the R500 series.
