R: Radeon HD 5770



HI,
i had been test linux with G5 Quad . Quadro 7800Gtx in 16x slot, radeonhd on 8x slot.
Result, it work with mesa 3D enabled on 4650, 5450, 6570, and R5 220. 
only 2D working with SI cards 7750, r7 250 because mesa crash for endianess someware.

For have the PC bios card working you need 2 Monitors. one monitor for the apple firmaware gpu and one for the "pc firmware gpu".
This is a video of my g5 with Debian Port (thanx Adrian Glubitz) and radeonhd 6570 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsB5xlLyZwE&t 

Ciao 
Luigi

I would probably just use a serial console for the boot sequence.
