Update:

Opened up the LCS again, and discovered a much worse problem underneath. The part that actually goes to the CPU was beyond clogged that nothing would ever pass it. (Along with the lousy filter put on the intake side.) I made room by removing some of the little goofy plastic fins, so now if the fins clog up, water can still move around and not just stop again.

She is up and running. :)

Hi, some remarks from your unsupport team.

1. Prepare a CD with MorphOS 3.12
- for quick test you can put HD from existing PowerMac G5 AGP machine to PCIe one
- sound is supported
- ide is supported
- sata is supported
- usb is supported
- fans handling is supported
- temperature sensors are supported
- onboard lan is not supported
- pcie Rs232 cards for getting debuglog may work (but i have one and it doesn't)

2. Add some supported Radeon card

Many thanks to MorphOS developers. I had my quad G5 three years at home for this moment.

Everything works fine as written, I succeed to buy cheap original powermac X1900. Now I waiting only for ordered NIC adapter and then I can register another MorphOS.

some quick notes:
- performance is great, Quake 3 = 60.1fps, Tower57 = 62fps, 1941 = 140fps
- internal speaker allways on. Is this my HW problem or is it connected with OS+mixer? I will check later with linux and MacOS
- graphics board detected correctly, Utilities/GraphicBoard don't show frequencies
- System monitor recognizes two CPUs.
- SDLBench crashes, but SDL games works
- GraphicSpeed crashes at the end - it can be connected with unregistered MOS and slowing down ?
- USB mouse don't work after boot. (wrong port status 0103). Restart of Poseidon doesn't help, plug and unplug yes.

Good work!!!

You should be getting a ton more FPS on Quake 3. ;)

From Redrumloa's post in 2012:
Using parameters by Piru for benchmarking the driver:
setenv TGLSYNC 0
flushlib tinygl.library

And under Quake 3 (All details maxed out):
r_primitives 2
timedemo 1
demo four

Thanks, it was only quick test to compare it with my Peg2 (41fps) iMac (53fps) and A1X1000 (86 fps).
With registered MOS I will try this Quake optimalizations.

That 60 FPS is because vertical sync with your monitor refresh rate. Try running Tower57 in windowed mode or Quake 3 without vsync.

Still, X1950 GT (AGP version) on my G5 Dual Processor 2,7 GHz does 153 FPS (in 1600x1200). I thought Quad (with its PCIe and DDR2) would do much better.

I just tested it on my end.

Video Mode : 1600x1200
Color Depth : Default
Fullscreen : On
Lighting : Lightmap
Geometric Detail : High
Texture Detail : Max
Texture Quality : Default
Texture Filter : Trilinear

184 FPS Using those settings.

Using vertex instead of lightmap for Lighting yielded 200 FPS.

Excellent! For me is enough all above 30. I don't play fps games, only for testing.
But I am glad that Quad is now "supported".

Definitely worth it. I had to tear down the LCS and redo it all. This one was basically empty and didn't know of its condition when I brought it home. Glad the CPUs didn't fry.

Meanwhile I tried a Sapphire Radeon X1550 (512MB, PC-BIOS, see picture). A nice passively cooled card with low power draw (~28W), but this one does not work. Installed it in the 2nd slot, a Nvidia GF6600 is in the 1st one.

MorphOS 3.12 boots into the desktop, but I got garbled colours (funny rgb dots, horizontally segmented by 5mm wihte lines) though the mouse pointer looks ok and works as intended. The machine is usable, but the colours are that garbled you can't do anything meaningful.

Linux gives me this data about the card:

Have you tried using the x1550 under Linux? I have an AGP x1300 that was ruined. Showed up, but colour artifacting like crazy and really unusable. Maybe your GPU suffered the same fate?

At least if you boot up with linux, you can see how it appears to see if it is the GPU or something to do with MorphOS.

I have some minor non-working thing:
after rebooting mouse not works on PmacG5 Quad.
ERR: wrong port status 0103 for port 2
strange port response, power-cycling port 2

Restart of Poseidon stack not helps, unplug and plug the mice yes.

I don't know if it is connected with MOS (on G5 linux & MacOS mice works) or I have bad mouses ( my Powerbook G4 have the same error).

Do you have similar issues with Mac&Mouse ?

cheap mouses, model I will check at home, if there are any label. Connected directly. The same issue on all USB ports.
The same mouses I tried on Peg2, IMacG5 and bananapro and it works.

If other people have no this problem, it points to mouses. I will test some other mouses with my Pmac and Pbook and let you know. And try connect with powered hub.

I believe there are some USB issues this time around that will be addressed on the next release regarding USB devices on startup. No worries, maybe find another cheap mouse to try. I use a Logitech G105 keyboard and a Logitech G302 mouse. Works every time I boot into MOS and after every restart.

To add to your issues, once booted into MorphOS, my Razor Kraken USB headset worked! :) Though you can't control the volume on it or even set it on the settings on the bar up top to have it control the Kraken, it was damn cool to hear audio out of my USB headset.

Though, once rebooting with the headset in, it kept the entire system from even starting up at all into MorphOS. I had to disconnect the headset from USB, then things returned to normal.

Still though! Audio through the USB headset was neat.

Tested the X1550 under Linux now, results are mixed. Framebuffer works, X works too, colours are correct. As long as I use Driver "fbdev" in my xorg.conf. If I use the Glamour or ATI driver the G5 locks up hard. Does not matter if "Accel" "off" is set.

So the card works on Linux, but only basic framebuffer. Whereas it does not work in MorphOS 3.12 - but here it does not lock up the G5.

But now as my G5 11,2 power cable arrived I will try the X1900 XT next.

Maybe try an older version or be sure to do it the way this person describes:

Ah yes, many thanks! The version mentioned in the thread is AMD/ATI ATIFlash 3.79. And this one works out of a FreeDOS USB stick!

The good:
OpenFirmware works, the cards fan control works, colors are ok, everything fine! The card repots itself now as X1950XTX with 128 MiB RAM.

The bad:
The flashed card does not work under Linux. The OpenFirmware console works, but the mayor flaw is the fan control not working under Linux leaving the fans running at 100% which is loud. Compareable to the sort of loud you get when the G5s fans itself hit 100%...

Guess I have to go the 2 cards way as I want to use Linux on this G5 too...

Anyone here in need of a Mac-flashed X1900XT? I have a spare one now.

I found one mouse (cheap Hama), which acts like this on my setups too. It doesn't work at boot if connected directly to the machine, but it works if connected via a hub (or replugged after the boot).

I mostly have Logitech mice otherwise and never had this kind of problems with them.

But you could try with a hub, if you want to use these mice.

I also reported this to the MorphOS team, so hopefully they can figure out something.

Workaround is simple - I tried four cheap mouses and two of them have same issue, two were OK. So I changed the mouse.
But anyway, all four works after restart under OSX and Linux.
