Too slow on desktop, too fast in games

Hi,
I recently traded my trusty TrackIR 3 Pro for the SmartNAV 3. I'm having a problem tuning in my speeds/sensitivity setting for my FPS games like Half-Life 2 and F.E.A.R..
Here is the problem.
In Relative mode everything works perfectly except my player in game will not continue to turn when the cursor is moved to the far left or right and always retuns to the exact position I was facing when I move my head back to center. So I can't turn 180 degees and stop there.
In Absolute mode I can turn the way I want, but the movements in game are just way too fast for good control. I turned my mouse acceleration off and speed way down and I turned the SmartNAV speeds down to 1. It helped a tiny bit in game but not enough and now it's too slow and does not move far enough when I'm at the desktop or in the game's menus.
What I want is the contol of Relative mode with the abilty to hold the cursor to the edge of the sreen so my charcter will spin until I stop like it does in Absolute mode.
I don't uderstand why both modes act the same on the desktop and in the game's menus, but when the actual gameplay starts, Absolute mode is just out of control fast.
I read about 2X Scaling, but I don't see that option in version 3.20.030 Final.
I have a 20" LCD that I run both the desktop and games at 1600x1200.
