O my god. You have centered timings working with the Catalyst drivers and a monitor that is not supposed to support scaling.
How the hell did you do that. :shock: :shock:

xDD i dont know what im doing bad but.. i want help ! xD

Well, my guess is that you have to play around with the options in this screenie.
I think if you disable some of the lower options you should be able to adjust the centered timing option so it scales to full screen.

Haha thats brilliant! A complaint post about something everyone's so desperately trying to achieve!!

What Graphics Card do you have and what version of Catalyst are you running?
BTW, i believe if you uncheck "alternative DVI mode" then you can change the timings.

Is'nt the task bar usualy placed on the left monitor when running dual monitors like this? as if your primaryu and secondary display were inversed....

i have a ati raedon 9550 and the catalyst is, version 1.2.2425.37188 .NET Runtime - Version2.0.50727.42 and i tried it too eZ i unchecked the "alternate DVI mode" and i cant change timings :(
and CypheR wathever, i have the taskbar on the secondary monitor, but what happens? O.o

I dunno... i was merely pointing the fact. your primary monitor seems to be connected to your secondary display, i only find this kinda weird...

You can drag your taskbar to the secondary monitor if i'm correct. Did play a long time ago with my geforce 5600fx then, and my tv/crt19'. Ow the good old days :D

Yes, but seeing this pic http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/7069/dibujomr9.jpg , you can see his BenQ widescreen monitor is set to secondary display.....

and if you look at this pic: http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/8228/2102071852vj8.jpg , you can clearly see the widescreen BenQ is used as his primary display... so i tought this was weird. I never tried moving my taskbar to the secondary display, my TV is my secondary display and i sure cant put my taskbar there, unless i make it a clone display of my primary display.

I'm not saying it shouldnt be that way, i'm just saying thats not the way i'm setted up here... and since i never seen a primary monitor being set as a secondary display.... tought i'd just point it out.

If you look closely at the second picture, you can see that the taskbar is still being displayed on the LG 4:3 monitor.

hey,

seems that the 3D Refrehs Rate Override has something to do with your greyed image scaling.

Found this:
"In catalyst Display Options tab I had to change 3D Refresh Rate Override from default "Disabled" to "Same As desktop". Doing so enables monitors OSD Image Scale settings."
