ATI tray tools and aspect ratio solutions

[Uriel]

Spotted this in the feature set for ATI Tray Tools 1.2.6.930 from a thread in graphics cards:

[+] Added support for "Perserve Aspect Ratio" option in Display module. If supported by LCD or DFP display.

Can someone test this at some 4:3 and 5:4 resolutions with an ATI card on a widescreen LCD? Do we finally have a solution to the ATI aspect ratio problem?! If I can game with black bars at the sides that opens up a load of cheaper monitor options to me...

Read some more. Looks like it's not a complete solution. Still not working for some people.

I've been thinking - it might be possible to modify the inf for some ATI mobility drivers and install them on a desktop card. I've previously used a modified inf from www.laptopvideo2go.com to install NVIDIA desptop drivers on my laptop's go 6600 and it sparked this idea.

Just thought if someone can get mobility drivers working on desktop parts the preserve aspect ratio function might still be working...
