Preserve Aspect Ratio on LCD

Hi,

I have a 2nd gen MBP hooked up to a wide screen LCD (1680x1050) panel and I occasionally play games that don't naively support the wide aspect ratio and they get all stretched out when scaled to fit the screen.

Is there any way to tell OS X to center the "odd" resolutions in the panel (leaving black bars) when a game wants to use that resolution? I'd much rather have a smaller picture than have it distorted.
 
I tried that, but even setting it there causes the screen to be stretched. There's only one specific resolution that gives the black bars, and that is 1344x1008.

I noticed that there is a 1024x768 and "1024x768 (stretched)" but they are both stretch on my screen.

I am running Leopard, BTW. And I have a DVI connection to a Samsung display.
