Re: Radeon HD 5770
The maintainer of VoidLinux has also a Terascale running in his G5:

What about the xorg.log or xorg config file? Maybe you have to blacklist the other card in Grub?
Regarding X1900, the Mac Edition won’t work on Linux, because of the reduced BIOS, IIRC.

If I researched correctly it is because the the 5770 needs a PCIe 2.0 while the G5 only has 1.0. Do you think this is correct? Going to try a 6570 then (X1900 for G5 would be great, but are hard to find it seems).
