CCC - Image Scaling

[Mirko]

Hi,

I have a question regarding the Image Scaling options in CCC.

19" Flat Panel Display 1280x1024
Radeon HD4670
Vista 32bit
Windows 7 RC1 64bit
Catalyst Suite 9.6 (both OS)

Since my LCD screen has an aspect ratio of 5:4 and many games don't offer
this as a choice, resulting in 4:3 rendered graphics being vertically
"stretched" to fill the whole screen, I have set the GPU Scaling option in
CCC to "Maintain aspect ratio" (under Digital Panel (DVI) 2 -> Attributes).
This works great in my Vista Premium Home setup.

However, I can't do that in Windows 7, because the whole Image Scaling
section in CCC is grayed out.

Has anyone had the same problem and maybe a fix for it?

While searching for a solution to my problem on the internet I found this
webpage with release notes for a rather old version of the Catalyst Windows
7 driver package.

One "Known Issue" is that "Image Scaling under the Digital Panel Page has
been disabled for this release of the Windows 7 driver".

Well, seems like AMD/ATI have not yet managed to reactivate the Image
Scaling options even in the most recent release of the driver. :-(

Yes. I have to edit web pages and check them at 800 x 600 and being able
to display this at 3x4 "pillarboxed" would be great.
