- 1680x1050, set scaling to Maintain aspect ratio
- 1024x768, scaling is still set
- 1280x1024, scaling is still set
- 1680x1050, scaling resets to centered
As for the drivers, the issue may be because I'm mixing legacy (my X1800) with current (IGP 3300) drivers. If I disable my third display connected to my IGP, it works fine, so if you don't run your displays off a mix of legacy and current mainline drivers, go for broke and install 10.2 legacy drivers with CCC from 8.12.
WDDM driver version for my X1800 is WDDM 1.0, whilst my IGP 3300 is WDDM 1.1.

What I meant to ask was, if you played a game that changed to a non-native resolution, say 1024x768, after you exit the game and go back to desktop which is at your native resolution, will the scaling mode reset?
And yea, I thought as much. The Vista drivers (WDDM 1.0) have scaling working, but the Windows 7 (WDDM 1.1) ones don't seem to. I'm betting if you just used the legacy Vista drivers in your setup, it'd probably work, although you probably don't want to test anymore driver configurations at this point.
