Is there a way to configure Eyefinity so, that when I start game in non-Eyefinity resolution, it would only display the screen in center screen? Now it shows the same thing in three screen.

It can be done via changing profile, but I was wondering could it be done automagically?

I suppose you could make a batch file that loaded a profile shortcut, then your game. Turning a display off may work for you. When using Eyefinity, if i turn off my side displays, nothing happens. But if i turn off the center, it kicks out of EF and into a wonky Extended mode.

It'd be nice to have a quicker way of starting a game in EF right away, but so many changes have to be made by enabling EF in the first place, that it'd be tough. I think a batch file is the only way to do it. Come to think of it, it's be best to put a delay into that batch file,as i think the game would load long before the EF profile was fully loaded.

I setup hotkeys and change manually

shift+ctrl+8 = center monitor only, other 2 disabled
shift+ctrl+9 = all 3 in extended mod
shift+ctrl+10 = eyefinity group

You could also have a profile for center+left or right for dual monitor. I only need all 3 for work like pro tools.

Most of the time I disable the sides.

Hahaa. I guess switching profiles is the only way then.
