    Hi, my problem is simple, my HD3650 refuse to scale games to full screen if they are not a 1280x768. Changing the settings in the CCC doesn't do anything. If I play, say, at 1680x1050 or 144x900, I get the game in a small square surrounded by black bars horizontally and vertically. Anyway to fix this? It does it with both the catalyst 8.9 and 8.8.

    Basically the game doesn't play in full screen if I don't select 1280x768 or my native resolution of 1920x1200.

    Have you tried Omega Drivers ?

    I know they are old, but if i remember well, they used to give me better resolution options while in windows in some games...

    You've probably already tried this, but in Catalyst Control Centre, under Notebook Panel Properties and Attributes, select 'Preserve Aspect Ratio'. It sounds like you have it set to 'Centered'.

    Not doing anything, the games are still boxed. It only works as long as the resolution is less or equal to 1280x1024....
