this has been bugging me as of late, i ran afterburner to see how much of my 6990 gpu's were being used running 4 eve clients in fixed window on 4 monitors. turned out only gpu 1 was being used and the second gpu was doing 0%
reason being that crossfire only works playing fullscreen games

nice that half of my videocard can run all of this but that was not the intention, so after allot of researching i came across this nice little program called "Actual Multiple Monitors"

by setting a hotkey to "ignore deactivation" (default setting is ctrl+shift+ alt+ i) and pressing the combination on my fullscreen eve
I can now play 4 clients, 3 fixed window and 1 fullscreen with crossfire enabled.

with the most important thing that I can move my mousecursor over to which ever screen I want without my fullscreen client forced
to minimize into my taskbar

I thought I'd share this with you guys in case you encountered thesame problem

fly safe and enjoy your crossfire multiple screen EVE on full graphics power

(only one monitor on fullscreen or you will run into problems)
