Can you have CrossFire with two monitors?

I'm running dual 22 inch LCDs. If both are plugged into card number 1, enabling or disabling CF has no effect - they are fed only from card 1.

If I plug one monitor per card and enabling CF, then one monitor goes black and CF kicks in one the single other display.

When can we have multi-monitor CF already?!

For the record, 8.8 were THE WORST ever drivers. First of all, enabling CF always failed (it made the driver restart). Second, with 8.8 drivers, OCing became impossible. My dual 4850 cards each run 700 core and 1050 memory. With the 8.8 I had instability as soon as I tried even a 5MHz OC.
