Omega 7.12 & Desktop Geometry Problems?

After installing Omega 7.12 I have geometry problems with my Radeon 9800 Pro card 16:9 widescreen desktop (LCD projector), it looks like 4:3 horizontally stretched to 16:9.

I am also using Powerstrip. Is there a software switch in the Omega/Powerstrip mix somewhere to will allow me to switch from 4:3 to 16:9? Or is there another solution?

Thank you.

What resolution you are using? I recomend that you set the output resolution in the control panel to some 16:9 aspect ratio resolution.

I'm using 1440X960 and 1776X1000i resolutions for my LCD projector. Geometry was fine using same custom resolutions prior to the driver upgrade?

Thank you.

Well it still sounds like that you have some setting in widows wrong or your projector thinks that the signal isn't in 16:9 aspect ratio. Try to set the resolution to some standard resolution like 1280×720 to see does it make a difference.

Same results with all resolutions. What settings in Windows could be wrong?
