Based on my experience with my G5, I was able to use a non-Apple
Raedon card and things worked fine. I did not need to flash ROMs or
jump through other hoops.
For completeness, I picked up a Radeon X1900 GT from eBay. I took out
the existing NVIDIA card and installed the Raedon card. Upon boot I
had a UI.
