MorphOS is out for MacMini G4! No cheaper Amiga available today!

So Morphos works on a Mac Mini, does it work on a Power Mac G4 800mhz with 1 gig of memory and a ATI card, or is this just an exclusive Mac Mini thing?

For the moment - only Mac Mini. But there is a development for a PowerMac version and meaby at some stage powerbook (my favourite one..).

Unofficial rule #1 of the internet:

If the answer to the question you are about to ask is on the first page of google results, do not ask that question.

What's Google?    :lol:

Seriously, I stopped using their search engine a while ago. It's not the internet as we all once knew it. Google is not my friend.

Unofficial rule #2 of the Internet: Do not be a condescending prick about Internet searches.

It was a simple, on-topic question that could be answered by anybody who posseses the knowledge in a trust-worthy venue in the course of a conversation, the answer to which could contain additional information from personal information or perspective of the person providing the answer.  The Internet, as a whole, is not trust-worthy.  Of course, given that argument, one might be best off not asking or searching in the first place.

(I guess rule #3 could be avoid verbosity and commas.)

It says up the top Powermac G4 support coming, but then the poster says it is working?  So anyone got it working here if it has been released?  Does it work on a Powermac G4 with ATI RV200 graphics card or is a radeon 9000 card the minimum requirement?  Just seeking some answers from someone on here who may already have done it that is all.  
 
I am not a Mac person, used to be an Amiga nut back in the day and am slowly getting back into it with Amiga Forever and hoping to have a CD32 soon once Analogic UK ever gets back to me!  Anyway hope someone can create a dummy guide for Morphos and Powermac's that are compatible with it.

Do yourself a favor take a look on the DIY projector sites ... While lcd screens aren't quite standardised You can get a controller board off ebay that works with most of them(just a matter of ordering the proper cables.).  Speaking of that ... some day I'll have to finish my projector project. :-D

Not sure I understand your post above.  I am trying to find out if I will be able to make, or find a cable that will connect my Efika's ATI Radeon 9250 video card with DVI, VGA & Composite outputs to the really old LCD screen out of a laptop made in 1998/99.

I haven't yet taken it apart, so I don't know if the laptop uses an "off-the-shelf" video card that many other laptops of that time period used, or if it has integrated graphics that is unique to the motherboard used.  There has to be some way to find out how to wire a VGA or DVI plug to the existing wiring coming from the laptop's LCD display.

In a typical lcd monitor there is a controller board that drives the lcd. On a laptop, this controller is almost always integrated into the motherboard due to space/money issues. What you are trying to do is essentially what those DIY projector enthusiasts have to do when they use laptop lcds for their projectors. Reading up on their sites or asking about your particular laptop lcd on their forums is likely to get you a more detailed explanation.

Coming yes, released no, the poster is a MorphOS developer, so it is working but not quite ready for release yet. Currently supported hardware is listed here, once the release is ready that page should be updated to include supported PowerMac models.

Does it work on a Powermac G4 with ATI RV200 graphics card or is a radeon 9000 card the minimum requirement?

Been using an RV200 card in my Pegasos for years now, so I'm thinking it would probably work in a PowerMac as well.
