Hey guys;
I'm sorry if I'm gonna go about bringing up an old and much talked about problem, but since the old workaround doesn't work anymore I'm having trouble with fixed aspect ration scaling again.
I'm on a Notebook with HD5650 Mobility and now the newest 10.8 drivers (since I read somewhere 10.9 are not gonna be released for mobility)... I had 10.6 till a few minutes ago but the problem was the same...
Basicly if I run my display at native resolution, I loose the scaling options; be it centered or fixed aspect ratio and the GPU will always scale to full-size, streching the image and looking awefully bad... In older version (10.3 I think, but don't quote me on that) I was able to just set a lower resolution in desktop for a short amount of time, select the fixed aspect ratio and then reset nativ resolution. Although that would result in greying out the options again, the GPU would still scale old 640x480 games in 4:3 on my 16:9 Display, making them look smooth and properly proportioned...
It's quite a pain in the ass really, although one workaround would be to run the desktop with small borders of 3 pixels each (1360x768 instead of 1366) but that's not quite acceptable. Is there some kind of registry hack out in the wild, to enable the option or any other workaround? I'd be eternaly grateful for any help, but seriously; you'd think ATI fix this obvious driver misbehaviour instead of "fixing" possible workarounds.
