True. But Acill was asking for his G5. But also my answer was a bit unspecific so thanks for pointing that out.

How can TinyGL for Radeon HD cards not support 3D acceleration on those cards when that's the sole purpose of TinyGL? Isn't this what the
ninth public TinyGL beta brought a year ago for all TeraScale2-based cards? Or do you mean this works with HD5450 on X5000/Sam460, but not on PCIe-based PowerMac G5?
Yes, full 3D-Accel support for R600 cards was one of the target goals of the bounty. But this specific point is not yet completed. So up to now no 3D-Accel for >=R600 on MorphOS on any system (yet).

Is it the PCIe G5 or MorphOS on the PCIe G5, i.e. is it also this picky when running Linux?
Only MorphOS on the PCIe G5. The cards run fine on Linux on the PCIe G5 (apart from some endiannes bugs, but still better than R300-R500 on Linux where mesa shows quite some colour issues and misrenderings).
