A few forum members have been a part of the BF3 Alpha testing. They have confirmed that multi-monitor is natively supported, and appears to be Hor+. From one screenshot we can see that while the HUD is not centered, but the elements are not stretched.
AMD has released the official Catalyst 11.8 graphics driver.

Of special note is that the 11.8 drivers brings support for 5x1 Eyefinity back into a release driver. Many users have been stuck at 10.12 or 11.4 Preview. 5x1 users can now enjoy all the the performance improvements from recent releases.
Did you pick up Prototype on Steam's Midweek Madness sale? If so, don't miss the game's Detailed Report for an easy multi-monitor solution, it can be used to force the game running at your desktop resolution !

thelolotov has been working on adjusting the Quake 4 HUD for multi-monitor. According to his forum post the tweak is by no means finished, but it's usable. In theory, the HUD, and menus, and all 2D elements can be adjusted to be centered in Triplehead, but this is much easier said than done.
The nice thing is, this mod, while specific to Quake 4, can be easily done with any other id Tech 4-based game, such as Doom 3, Prey, and possibly even Brink, in fact, Brink might be an incredibly easy fix, but as he does not own it, he can't try. Hit the forum thread for more info, and how you can test at additional resolutions.
