I've got an nVidia 8800GT with 2 DVI outputs.
a 21"CRT and a 36"LCD.
Dual Fullscreen:
No matter what adapter you pull down in the video card setup, it always starts Eve in the default monitor. So the best I can hope for is 2 eve clients working fine on top of eachother... and theoretically, if I were able to get one going on the 2nd monitor in full screen, if I ever try leaving one monitor, that client will minimize and disappear.
Dual windowed:
This I can get working a little bit but eventually what ALWAYS happens before I can get in the game is the windowed mode spans out full screen and the mouse clicks all hit the wrong spots. And if I try to do the 2nd screen, it does the same thing except when it spans out, it spans out into the default monitor and so again, eve client on top of eveclient except you can't click anything.
One windowed and one full screen.
sometimes if I start one out in full screen and then open a new client and set it to windowed I can get it working, but if I even switch over to the windowed-mode client, the fullscreen minimizes.
I just bought a 2nd account just so I could do this and so I'd be extremely happy if someone could help me out here.
A few peeps said that eve resolution needs to match my desktop reso. Wouldn't that just make 2 psuedo windowed mode clients? and then I still get the issue where the client in the 2ndary window jumps to the other when it does that funky span thing.

I'd say fullscreen isn't technically possible due to the fact that you're using 1 video card with 2 outputs. But you might ask someone who really knows this.
You might want to try this: http://eve.grismar.net/evelauncher/
It will enable you to play 2 windowed clients at the same time and use it on 2 monitors in peudo-fullscreen (i.e., the bar at the top is not viewable and therefore the undock button and clock etc are not cut off.
It works well for me because in fullscreen mode the client does not always respond immediately (it goes to the top-left corner but doesn't expand until I spam the esc-button a few times)

You must run both clients in windowed mode.
Use two different installs (copy eve directory to somewhere else and shortcut to that exe for 2nd client so they both maintain their individual settings for res etc.)
Drag one window to 2nd screen then start 2nd client.
Run clients a bit under the desktop res.
With Nview, allow both desktops to run different resolutions and allow window spanning and child window spanning across displays.
You may have tried all this of course - good luck.
8800 GT here too.

If you run both clients windowed, you should be able to move them freely.
Be sure you configured your screen setup as "dual view"
If your Eve window spans to your main screen i would suggest you have 3rd party software running, like EveMON. In that case disable full screen align. A windowed Eve instance doesnt move by itself.

Dual monitors is very possible with Nvidia. I do it myself using the eve launcher tool and what's more one is widescreen and the other is normal aspect ratio. You will want to run both of them in windowed mode and you will want a seperate eve install for each window i.e. two instances of eve each with their own folder. Each eve client can then be set to use the appropriate video adaptor and will recognise the available resolution settings for that adaptor.
When the regular patches for eve come out and you run the patcher, DO NOT launch eve when it asks at the end of the patch process. Just quit and then launch eve using the eve launcher tool. Doing this will save you boatloads of heartache from constantly resetting ui settings in the game.
