I'm just wondering if anyone uses Eyefinity for non game stuff? i.e. permanently set to Eyefinity rather than extended desktop. |

Most of the time, like for web browsing, I'm in single monitor. I'll go dual monitor - extend mode, for multi-tasking. I use Eyefinity for gaming only. |

I stay in eyefinity all the time and have started using hydragrid to map the 3 screens out with dividers so i can use different applications on each screen more easily. I prefer this to extended mode but hydraGrid could use some more configuration options. |

I run it 100%. Haven't had a need to switch to extended (yet). Pretty new install. I doubt I'll need to switch until I jones for some Astroids and need to crank up Mame. That sentence has little to do with my personal habits. :| Also, once I get a VPN client from work that they support under Win7, I will be 100% off of XP. Still need to fire it up to logon and RDP to my desk. Could run Virtual PC under 7, but limited to 1024 and thats weaksauce. I am down to getting flicker only once in a great while. Mainly when I get impatient and ALT-Tab out and kill a game. |

Yeah I have hydragridded (new word!) the three screens and it is fine, no if only I could move the windows start symbol etc nto the centre screen. Originally I use extended and shortcuts for EF, but since the short cuts only work 1 time out of three or four meaning I have to make a new group a lot of the time, I went to EF 100% |

I don't know if this was in the older driver, but after installing the 9.12 hotfix driver, I noticed there was a selection: Start -> All Programs -> Catalyst Control Center -> Restart Runtime I've found that "Restart Runtime" acts similar to rebooting the system, and if I'm not getting Eyefinity profiles to change when selected, I can sometimes use restart runtime, and then attempt the switch again with some success. |

Im in eyefinity 100% of the time these days. Just not really willing to toggle to extended mode for a few checks of my email then back to eyefinity to play a game. Its not too hard for me to work on the computer in eyefinity mode. |

I don't think I understand the Hydragrid too well. I turned it on, set it to a grid pattern where each screen is one cell in the grid. I dragged a window to that screen, hit maximize and it still filled up all 3 monitors. I thought it would maximize just to fill that grid? |
