    Hi

    I have Radeon Mobility X1600 and I also have huge problems in Windows 7 because of this. As all we know Mobility Series X1xxx Driver are not supported since Catalayst 9.3 for any operating system, ok then I mod driver with (Mobility Modder.NET) for Radeon X1xxx series and as we know latest legacy drivers are 9.8 but after that I have only one problem and it is resolution in games, theres never full screen but only little box wtih black space around, is there any solution for this?

    My desktop resolution is 1280x800 which is maximum, the only moment when game appears to be full screen is to set it to the same resolution as desktop, but when I decrease resolution it becomes smaller screen and black space around on desktop and in game to.

    Example Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 resolution 800x600 and it looks like this:

    Use 8.12 instead. For newer cards still in support, Cat 9s don't even have scaling options anymore, it just defaults to keep aspect ratio, which is probably why it's screwy with legacy cards.

    The 9.8 "legacy" drivers are just rebranded 9.3.1 drivers, btw.
