Have done a quick search but let me off if I've missed something on this. I remember in one of the 7970 speculation threads the mention of eyefinity 2.0 working with monitors of different resolutions. Is there any new info on this?

Basically I want to know will this be 79 series only? (I have a 6950 with 6970 shaders unlocked and would be tempted to add another if eyefinity will work accross different res monitors)

I have a 1920*1200 in the middle and 1280x1024 either side (while the non landscape monitors could be replaced they are nice quality and work really well for my deskspace and work)

I know pixel density (if that is the right term) may be an issue but would like to see how it looks and then CF to get better performance if it is OK
 
I think the custom resolutions is for a single resolution below the maximum, NOT for using monitors of different sizes.
With eyefinity at present, if you have 3 1920x1200 monitors, you have a single resolution of 5760x1200 (or higher with bezel comp). You *might* be able to reduce it to 5040x1050 (1680x3monitors) but below that, you are stuck with standard single monitor resolutions.
Custome resolutions will allow you to define resolutions below 5760x1200, but in the same aspect ration (so, 2880x600, for instance).
You'll still treat the whole display area as a single monitor.

At least, that's what I'm expecting.

I'm really looking forward to the ability to limit the taskbar to a single monitor.
there was definitely an image in one of the presentations showing monitors of different sizes but not 100% was legit
