Gday, i'm running a laptop with a 15 inch monitor at max res (1280x800.) Any other res and the viewable screen is smaller than the monitor. I just installed the new omega drivers, with the previous ati drivers the q3 was fine. Now when i go into q3 it looks like this:

With 2 black borders either side of the screen. I tried changing the reso in game (The screenshot is with it at 1024x768) and with the next size up (1280x1024) or any bigger the quake 3 screen is too big for my monitor and any smaller the black borders are bigger. Could anyone suggest anything to combat this or know of a way to run q3 at 1280x800/768?

Ah cheers, that seemed to work great. It's worked in every mod except the nww cpma/osp. When i load the cpma mod it comes up in my desired resolution but the screen is moved to the right so part of the screen is cut off and the left side is just black. Any solutions to this?

Am I to understand it works in all mods except CPMA? Does the problem persists if you enter "r_customwidth 1280; r_customheight 768; r_mode -1; vid_restart" in the console? If this all fails, you might want to report it at the CPMA forums.
