Issues with Widescreen

Archlinux has been going great for me for the past two weeks.  Decided to install Wine today (even though I dual-boot with Windows), ran winecfg and tried to boot up Soldat after installing.  My resolution immediately switches into 800x600, Soldat looks al glitchy, so I exit and restart. Upon login, I go to my Settings for XFCE and click display -> resolution -> 1152 x 768. But for some reason, the resolution is no longer widescreen, it's just a square.  I have Radeon HD 4650 and radeonhd drivers.  One thing I did notice is that there was an ATI update today when I ran 'pacman -Syu'.  Maybe this had a possible effect in combination with wine?

Here's my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"

If you have any questions, I'll try to respond immediately as I really need this fixed ASAP! It doesn't seem like too difficult of a problem... just figuring out what Wine changed.

Oh, forgot to mention that other widescreen resolutions work, just not 1152 x 768.
