Any way to convert from VGA to...

[PeterB]

Grim, yeah, I was thinking about that too. I forgot to mention, this machine also has an AlchemyTV card in there, but unfortunately that card doesn't provide any video out... only video in...

I take it that the adapter dohc76 linked to above, also will not work?

[The Grim Ninja]

Those adapters were designed to work with cards that shipped in G5s or later, so unless you have a hacked G5 card, they should not work.

I don't believe I've ever tested with a Radeon 9000, but it's pretty doubtful it will work.

If you have an open PCI slot would a Radeon 7000 Mac edition be enough for what you are trying to do?

Just a note

The card linked above may be a flashed PC card as any reference on the ATI site only mentions a 32MB version of the card for Macs.

[The Grim Ninja]

That Radeon 7000 is definitely a PC flashed card.

I'm not certain, but I do believe there was a short run of 64MB Radeon 7000 cards. But, if there was a run of them, they all had S-Video ports located between the DVI and VGA outputs. I believe they were a dark colored card, with either a black or very dark blue/brown PCB.

Yes guys, I do believe I may have a spare Radeon 7000 (Mac, not PC) at home... will check when I get home tonight. That may be a fairly cheap (free?) solution...
