The widescreen mods use a thing called a directx wrapper. This is a hacked copy of d3d9.dll which sits in the same folder as sh3.exe and intercepts all calls to directx9, hacks them about to suit the resolution specified in d3d9.ini and then passes them to the proper d3d9.dll. This can upset windows security and virus checkers!
Unfortunately the people who wrote the wrapper only thought about fullscreen and so it always sets the display mode to the one specified. it was designed for games other than sh3. This is a pain when you have an odd screen size. The source code is probably on sourceforge somewhere, try looking at the "file properties" metadata for the hacked d3d9.dll file. I believe there are several versions written by different people.
