    i have an issue when i pllay games in full screen. If the game is not at the native resolution of my monitor which is 1920x1200 i have this strange issue where my mouse is not aligned. What i mean is when i try to click something i have to be about 1 inch underneath the button then click.
    i am using catalyst drivers 11.7 with ati mobillity radeon hd 5870 xfire

    Hmmm that is odd. I would try reverting to 11.6 or lower see if it is still present. I am going to try this out as well, What game was displaying that behavior?
