Well I get 2 monitors active with CrossfireX enabled, this under XP. Even when I am
gaming screen#2 still shows it's 2D desktop mode. Certainly seems for 3 or 4 monitors
that crossfireX has to be off, at least with my 4 headed single card vs. two non-X2
cards.

Don't understand the question. Currently I have 2 monitors running,
each can be a different resolution, each can be a clone OR part of the
extended desktop. For that matter one can be full screen playback on
the fly.
Are you saying that in non-crossfire mode with 3+ monitors there's an
issue?
no I am saying if you run multiple monitors, I am running a Gateway 3000
on one Asus EAH4970 and two DELL 2407s on another EAH4970, each at it's
native resolution. If I enable Crossfire I loose the DELLs 2D or 3D. I
only see the 30 inch monitor. Asus says this is how crossfire works. So
when you wrote that you were able to use multiple monitors with
crossfire enabled I assumed you were spanning the monitors across one
resolution.... which can be done with some drivers.
When I enable Crossfire in Vista 64, say to play a game, the desktop
gets messed up when I restore normal mode. So I boot into XP64 with
crossfire enabled if I want to play a game....and I only see the 30 inch
monitor.
That may be different, it was my understanding that my card has 4
heads to do 4 monitors though I think to do so CrossfireX has to be
disabled 1st. Currently I can't get CFX to disable & don't have time
tonight to fiddle with it as I am flying out in the morning.

but in one big spread across the monitors view ? Not with separate
resolutions on each monitor.
