I have a PPC G5 with an AGP GeForce FX 5200 that I can test things on, if necessary. (I got it specifically for this purpose, as the people who use this type of hw daily tend to perform updates rarely... in no small part due to the fact that updates tend to break the HW.) Just let know what you need tested, I should be able to turn it around within a couple of days.
