Agreed, hotfix drivers only.

I'm sticking with 9.3 though; much better all-round performance with
this version on my (X2 4800+) system when compared to later 9.x releases.

Let me guess....When you have this setting it scrolls about your
desktop?

I have a SyncMaster 226BW 22" and suffered from the same problem.
Installing drivers didn't help. It seems the monitor doesn't send the
EDID needed. I spent days trying to sort it and then managed to using
ATI's CCC. There is a setting with loads of "supported" resolutions*
or something. I seem to remember it was greyed out at first so I had
to manually pick my resolution and it forced my monitor to take it.

I don't have CCC installed anymore so I can't point you in the right
place but I'm very sure you have the same problem I had.

*and I don't mean on the usual select screen resolution screen.

Are you using DVI or VGA ports on the monitor. You need to use the native
resolution that your monitor is designed for. What model is it? My Acer 24"
demands 1920-1200

I don't think that's his problem....If he used a non-native res it'll
still display without scrolling left and right but it'll look blurry
and awful...

Well the 1600 x 1200 max rings a very loud bell for me.

I'm pretty sure if was this screen...
http://img187.imageshack.us/i/ccc2dl...i%20ccc%20edid

Uncheck the EDID and select the max resolution there? If not then it
deffo a drop down menu like that. It may be in Displays Manager.

I guess if you're getting it swapped it's not that big an issue. I
just *know* it could be sorted before then. Oh well!

I'm not sure...I just found that screen grab online. Mine didn't look
like that either. I'm sure my CCC was grey and not white.

All I remember is the setting was on the same window as the EDID stuff
and I'm pretty sure I had to check or uncheck a box and then select
the resolution myself. I'm sure it is the same as the picture I posted
because it would make total sense. Your monitor now is displaying 1680
x 1050 on a resolution of 1600 x 1200 because CCC doesn't know your
monitor can do 1680.

The screengrab is probalby for VGA but the one I used myself wasn't
because I have never used VGA to connect to the monitor. Do you have a
Samsung?
