Default ATI 9600 Pro & LCD widescreen

my old CRT finally died and I am shopping for a widescreen LCD. Since I have
an old video card how can I get the aspect ratio to display correctly on the
widescreen? I don't want everything to be stretched sideways on the screen.
do any drivers support this or will I have to buy another video card. the
9600 Pro has a DVI output

Surely you can have widescreen resolutions on your 9600 Pro. I used to
do the same on my 9800 XT which isn't that much newer. What
resolutions is it letting you choose now?

What widescreen resolution do you need?

Look at Chapter 3 of this:

(It's not just for Mac versions.) I hope that you'll find that it supports
the resolution that you want.
