    >> VNC is know to work, a 2nd GFX card (with Mac-OF and in PCI) should also work.

    > That is good to know! [...] I assume that it must be done using the firmware prompt,
    > as the card won't work in MorphOS, or MacOSX until it is flashed, is that correct?

    The card won't work in firmware until it is flashed, hence Kronos' mention of "VNC" and "2nd GFX card".

    Someone offered me a ATI Radeon X1300 Pro. It's PCI express. Would that me a problem? Those G5 had PCI-X right?

    Yes, MorphOS-compatible G5 Macs have AGP and either PCI-X or PCI. Models with PCIe are currently no supported.

    @ Tekk,

    So far, the best solution you have been offered is the one Kronos mentioned.
    The 9000 I mentioned is not really suited to your G5, although I do have an Apple 9800XT I am about to post on eBay.
    The X1300 you have been offered will, currently, only work in a SAM460.

    Good luck with your system.

    Yes, Kronos has always been a good source for help and advice.
    Once he helped me set up my G4 so that my main drive was run by an unflashed Sil SATA controller (I booted from a older PATA drive, but my main drive was SATA).
    He is a good guy.

    I was wondering what weeding dress might mean ? Translated to german weeding means "mechanisches entfernen von unkraut". I don't really want to know what these guys are about to do! :-)
