[plug] Radeon 9200 available for those interested in Wine Summer of Code.

I have a spare AGP Radeon 9200. This is the most powerful ATI card that 
still exhibits the problem to be solved by the following Summer of Code, 
  so it may be of use to anyone who is thinking of working on this problem.

Direct3D - Implement Pixel shaders on Geforce 4 or ATI 8500 cards

Possible Mentors: StefanDoesinger

     * Currently our minimum requirement for pixel shader support is the 
GL_ARB_fragment_program extension. This extension is comparable to 
Shader Model 2.0 pixel shaders, and as such is not available on hardware 
that has Pixel Shader 1.x support only, like Geforce3/4 cards and ATI 
Radeon 8500 to 9200 cards. Those cards have vendor specific OpenGL 
extensions which cover up to pixel shader 1.4. Those are 
GL_NV_register_combiners and GL_NV_texture_shader on Nvidia cards, and 
GL_ATI_fragment_shader on ATI cards. This project would involve mapping 
the Pixel Shader 1.x functionality to those extensions. Implementing 
this for one brand of cards is big enough for a project already, we can 
also have two simultaneous projects for the ATI and NVIDIA codepath
