    Jay, when are you guys going the fix the underscan problem when using HDMI in the CCC? I only recently found the answer to this problem that almost caused me to get rid of a new ATI 4670 card. The problem still exists though because the setting is not persistent. I have to reset it everytime I restart the machine.

    Has anybody been informed that there is a fix for the 5830 issue and driver version 10.4? It would be great if ATI\AMD would start responding to that issue. At least a date when there will be fix would be great.
