So, following problem: programs that use a none-native resolution get centered on screen, but aren't scaled up (e.g baldurs gate is only a small rectangle of 640x480 in the middle of the screen). Games running native resolution run perfectly in fillscreen (e.g. bastion, ut2004). Dosbox also doesn't scale up fullscreen anymore.
Switching reolution also doesn't work, cause nvidia-settings only gives me my native resolution as a choice.
xrandr output:

$ xrandr --addmode LVDS-0 1280x1024_60.00

EndsectionI'm running X with herbstluftwm (no gnome or such) from tty1.
I've heard that nvidia is still working on this feature, but I don't really want to rely on their work, who knows how long that will take.
Can anybody help me? Is there any more info you need?
