Yes, you're understanding it right. And technically it didn't specifically have to be a Radeon, but any set of PCI devices with the right set of PCI memory bases could trigger this bug. Radeons in general just do that reliably.
Thank you bigfoot for fixing the bug that was preventing myself (and perhaps other x5000 owners) from using MorphOS.
I ordered a 1950 XTX and will order a riser adapter soon.
It is a nice benefit that the 1950 XTX PCB is red, as is the semi-transparent wind tunnel matching the x5000 PCB. My Define has a tinted glass side panel.
Luckily I checked and have a Corsair 750 PSU, as I thought I had put a SF450 in the machine.
Reading up on the cards they both seem to be power hungry.
This is the best of both worlds for me. A ~2006 GPU for MOS, and a ~2018 GPU for AOS-maximizing capabilities on each OS.
Some may not like statement of my impression(s) of the MOS teams response to potential new users and that is OK.
I think it is important the team be told how they interact with their own user base.
Do what you will with this feedback.
Now that this bug has been fixed all x5000 users stand to benefit.
