nvidia 9631 - cannot scale correct

hello!

i have a problem with the latest nvidia-drivers. i've got a widescreen laptop with the resolution 1280x800. but the most games don't support this res, so i have to take 1024x768. but suddenly i can't change the scale-behavior in the nvidia-settings-tool. i can only switch "force gpu scaling", but it doesn't change anything. i have the problem with the res in frozen-bubble and quake3!
frozen-bubble: in fullscreen it uses 1280x1024/1024x768 but this resolutions are 4:3, not 16:10 - so i don't see the last pixels at the bottom (virtual screen bigger than the real one!)
quake3: same thing!

changing the settings in xorg.conf via FlatPanelProperties doesn't help too.

is it a bug in the latest nvidia-drivers?

plz help me!

xorg.conf:
