If there is another thread like this I apologize. I used to use hotkeys to go in and out of eyefinity. I recently downloaded RadeonPro.

http://www.radeonpro.info

I setup a profile for for WoW. Once Launcher.exe is open it automatically opens my eyefinity profile. Once WoW.exe closes (exit out of WoW) it automatically switches to my extended desktop profile.

This is an ok workaround for me because I don't play alot of different games. But you have to setup a profile for each game or .exe.

I hope this helps others with eyefinity.
 
It detects some games too late, causing the profile switch to happen after they've established a render target. This usually leads to the game crashing or its resolution resetting.

I prefer the batch file method:
Code: 
@ECHO OFF
MODE CON:cols=14 lines=1

"C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\CLI.exe" Start Load profilename="Eyefinity"
PING timer
PING timer

.\game.lnk
EXIT

Which does the following:
1. Instructs the command prompt to open as small as possible (14 columns by 1 line).
2. Calls up the "Eyefinity" Profile from the command line.
3. Pings an invalid address (we need a delay so the profile can switch before the game starts).
4. Starts a shortcut called "Game" in the same folder as the batch file.
5. Closes the command prompt.

So all you have to do is make a shortcut to the game's executable, name the shortcut "game", then put the batch file in the same folder as the shortcut. I wrote it this way to avoid editing the batch file for every game. Double-clicking the batch file will switch to Eyefinity and start the game.

You'll still have to switch back manually, as there's no good way to detect when the game closes. Hopefully ATi adds auto-switching to their drivers at some point :(
 
Thanks I had that problem, when i originally did it with Wow.exe.

But that combined with RadeonPro will do exactly what I need.

You can still create a profile for that .exe and have it load the CCC profile once its closed.

So you can use RadeonPro to go back to extended desktop when it exits.
