    Omega 4.2 also out. I prefer manual tweaking if any is necessary but there is one useful features, build-in custom resolutions. 1400x1050 is good for desktop and some games with 19" but ATI think not? :) Anyway check attached file, line 1300 to 1366 are copied from Omega inf-file into normal ATI and so they also support those res - and no need for Omega or 3rd party sw. I used this file when installing 4.2 on XP and all res are avail in supported refreshrates which is 60, 75, 85, 100.

    As Omega says you will have to untick "Use DDC information" button under ATI display tab.
