[plug] Bt868/829 support

[Ben Jensz]

Well I heard that before I bought my Radeon 9700 Pro.  Personally I 
don't give it much weight myself as I've had my 9700 Pro in 3 different 
hardware setups and it has worked 100% flawlessly each time.  A VIA 
based PIII 800 system, a VIA KT266A based Athlon XP system and my 
current Intel 845PE / P4 setup.

There were a couple of initial problems with a couple of games and ATi's 
earlier drivers, but those were resolved quickly.  nVidia's driver 
history isn't flawless either.

I think a lot of it was a beat up of an unsubstantiated rumour by nVidia 
fanboys trying to sling mud.
