ATI seems to have fixed in (at least it's been proven to be there) in the Catylyst drivers for the x1000 series. But, if you're having problems, it shows that Nvidia still has the best support for this.

too bad... this doesnt help us notebook people. I have integraded radeon 9000 igp. I can't play newer games because at high res its too weak and at low res its either scaled so everythings fat or not scaled at all. It also can't play old games... cause if it only supports a low res, I have the same problem. Diablo II and starcraft have this problem. So all around. I am pretty much screwed. I can't play any games at all.

Does no one really have an answer to this???? This is so weird... one of the weirdest problems ive ever seen.

Have you tried Powerstrip yet. I believe that still is the only option to get black bars on Ati cards.

powerstrip does jack on laptops. At least on mine it does. When I try to shrink the horizontal or vertical it just makes the screen get all wavy and do weird stuff. Ive tried with timings on and off. Most other laptops probably do same thing. I was hopin some smart hackers would read my thread above about EDIDS... I guess its more complicated than it looks

Well Powestrip doesn't work for me. i can't change size and position with it. When I click on the resize button the lcd turns to black and than back to normal.
And there's something strange happening when ps is running. From time to time the display turns black for a sec.

I'm using a Belinea 102035W with a DVI-D cable on a Radeon 9550GT

Hi

I've got a little problem. I was trying some resolutions on my widescreen monitor with native resolution 1440x900 to see how can it output some of them.
For testing I've chosen 1280x720 and checked "Use Centered Output" under DisplayProperties/Settings/Advanced/FlatPanelDisplay (I have GeForce 6600GT video card) and the srceen wasn't output centered. I have to black bars at the bottom and top but image was horizontal stretched :/ What's more with "Use Fixed Aspect Ratio Scaling" that resolution fitted whole screen... why's that?

While trying 1024x768 resolution I have black area all around the image, but it still seams to be stretched horizontal.

I'm using ForceWare 84.21 drivers and the monitor is connected to PC via digital output.


Edit: I check something else out. I changed the resolution to 1280x720 once again and took screenshot of the pulpit switched back to 1440x900 and displayed it in fullscreen mode in Irfanview and guess what? The image obtain by "Use Centered Output" in 1280x720 is shorted then that in Irfanview. So it's not only thah image is stretched horizontal but also shrinked vertical :/

wow ArturNOW... thats really weird.

Exactly and I don't know what's wrong. Maybe sth wrong with drivers and I'm almost 100% certain here's the cause. In few days I am doing clear installation of OS so if that won't help I will try to find a solution for the problem.

I'm still visiting this post maybe someone has similar problem?

What screen do you have, and what scaling settings do you use on the screen menu (OSD)? :)
