Did you send them logs to try to help to identify the problem? Since both G5&R300 support is new I think finding bugs is normal, hopefully it will improve with next release.
How can I get a log if my system is totally unusable? I just insert MorpohOS 3.2 CD and wait: the system loads and becomes immediately almost freezed. Even to move the mouse pointer few pixels it takes servel MINUTES!!
But me and others ALREADY exposed and explained all this SEVERAL TIMES. How is possible that many person here feel to attack me when they still have not understood the gravity of the issue!?

The desktop may look 2D, but it uses 3D functionallity. Ask people who used the PowerBook without 3D, where some simple alpha rendering made their system slow like hell, because all operations where done in software.
I know what you mean. Me too has tryed this in the past on the Powerbook, but it's totally different world. The powerbook was slow lyke hell, but still usable, the G5 is totally unusable. It's a much much worse situation.

Maybe I'm missing something here .....
- you did have working G4 HW
- you bought a G5 in advance of upcoming 3.2 release
- you find out that a nonstandard GFX-card does not work 100% (all supported G5 either had an 9600,9650 or NVidia as default GFX)
- whollotta complaining.
I have no idea what the difference is between the 9600 and 9800, but my G5 with 9600 is surely useable.
Yeah, you're missing the point. I sold the G4 and bought a G5 few days before the 3.2 release. I did not buy a 9800 because I wanted a better GFX, I just found it in the system I bought! Same high end config came with with a OEM GENUINE MAC VERSION 9800XT Board inside! It's not a personal experiment. If I had another working GFX Board I would use it in the meanwhile this problem is fixed. I have just some 9000Pro here but it seems they can't be fitted inside G5.

if your card is not working propely, maybe instead of typing and typing and typing on forum, complaining how bad it is, you should ask some MorphOS developer if they are interested in borrowing your card for developement and testing purposes?
First: it's not only my card that has problems.
Second: if morphos developers have still not a problematic 9800 in their hands this is a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. Why? Because it means they are still not actually working on the problem!!! So if it is the case they should have told to persons like me having issue with 9800 "hey guys, until we can have a 9800 Board in our hands the fixing work will neither start!"
The sesantion I have is that months that go ahead are seen like few hours from the dev team. We have surelly a different vision of the time and the waste of it..
