Is there a reason that the hardware test that came with my G5 will not test the video card? I have tried both regular and extended, and it never runs the video card test. I have an ATI X800XT.

I'm just guessing. It could be possible that the AHT hasn't been updated to recognize the card and handle it. may be a sorta safe mode that if it doesn't recognize the card it doesn't perform the test.
