ati driver 6.7.192: wrong video mode?

Hello,
I've tested the ati driver version 6.7.192 (from Debian/experimental);
Xorg comes up with a video mode that's slightly different than the one
used by the previous driver (6.6.3). The result is that the image is not
centered on screen anymore (on the left I see a black stripe of 3-4mm).

New mode is:
"1280x1024"   108.00   1280 1328 1440 1688   1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync
Old mode is:
"1280x1024"   135.00   1280 1296 1440 1688   1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync

The big problem is that Windows also uses the "old" mode, hence I have
to adjust monitor settings each time I switch operating system.

Funny part is that the new mode is actually the one found in the DTD...
so the new driver is actually _right_.
Even if the driver is technically correct, maybe the new behaviour
should be enabled explicitly with a config option? Disagreeing with
Windows is bad ;)

I'm attaching logs and EDID (blob).
