Minimize on close done from r230 onwards, will be in the next release.
Alternatively you can use the build I've attached. It is an alpha build though,
just so you know.
As for the Crossfire stuff, there's a couple of things I need to discuss with
my colleague, but it is being looked into :)

Can you post an Open Hardware Monitor report (File / Save Report) of your
system? Otherwise it will be very difficult to goes what is going wrong.

I attach the file as requested

Thank you. The AdapterID is zero for the second card. The ADL (AMD Display
Library) docs say about this: "Zero means: The adapter is not AMD.".
Could it be that the second card is powered off or sleeping, because its
currently not in use? Can you stress both cards with somthing that supports
Crossfire and then start the Open Hardware Monitor?

I just checked and the Open Hardware Monitor can handle Crossfire on other
systems (at least I know of one using two HD 4800 series cards). So I think we
must make sure here that Crossfire is really running as it should on your
system. For example if only one card is running and the second one is disabled
/ powered off, then the output of the Open Hardware Monitor would be right.

I have ran GPU-Z 0.4.6 and it reports that ATI Crossfire is enabled with 2
GPUs. I'll see if I can find a way to stress both cards to see if that makes
any difference.

I ran Furmark and checked OpenHardwareMonitor and it showed 2 GPUs - I attach
the report generated. I closed OpenHardwareMonitor and reopened it and it then
showed 1 GPU. It looks like OpenHardwareMonitor only reports the second GPU
when it is active. It would be nice if your program could show both GPUs even
if one is not active

We'll look into this, but I've got another question for you.
Are these two identical cards? Because there's an uneven number of adapters,
while it should show an even number. Do both cards have the same number of
outputs? Because from what I can tell, you're using one with 2 outputs
(adapters 0 and 1) and one with 3 outputs (2, 3 and 4).
Doesn't really matter, but it's just something I'd like to know :)

The cards are supposed to be the same - both are ATI Radeon HD5770. GPU-Z says
the cards both have the same device ID (1002 - 68B8) but the subvendors are
listed as Sapphire/PCPartner (1748) for one card and ATI(1002) for the other.
Perhaps this means that the cards are not identical after all !

Well could you check the outputs on the back? Because I know there are versions
of the 5770 with just 2 outputs (these might be low-profile ones, not sure),
with 3 outputs (the way they came out a year ago) and with 4 outputs (later
revision).
Did you buy them together? Both Sapphire?

What does the Catalyst Control Center report for the temperature of your second
card when it has been idle? If the temperature drops there to 0°C as well a
few seconds after becoming idle, then it is a problem (or feature) of the
driver.
Looking at the report you created after starting the Open Hardware Monitor
while stressing both cards it seems that one of the card is switched off (at
least in the driver) when it is idle again. That's why the driver (via ADL)
reports a 0°C temperature in the Open Hardware Monitor.
Have you installed the latest Catalyst driver?
If this is really a feature of the driver, than I am not sure it is a good idea
to try to keep the second card awake for monitoring only.
There have been problems with the drivers some time ago:

I am not sure if they are resolved now (I don't have a crossfire system to
test).

In response to Comment 10 both cards have 4 outputs - they were bought 1 week
apart from the same supplier and both for the same price. Regarding comment 11
I cannot find in CCC where the temperatures are reported. I looked under
CrossFireX Diagnostics which is blank. CCC reports Driver Packaging Version as
8.771-100825a-104557C-ATI, Catalyst Version 10.9 and Catalyst Control Centre
Version 2010.0825.2146.37182

The temperature should be shown in the "ATI Overdrive" section (cf.

I have just installed version 0.2.1 beta but it seems that minimize on close is
not working - clicking on the red X still closes the program.

You have to set 'Minimize On Close' in the Options menu.

If Windows starts the programm automaticly most times there is only one card
detected, but if I start it, when both cards are working (for one furmark),
both cards are detected.
I have added two reports. One on Windows idle and one running Furmark. Maybe it
helps.

What happens if you start the Open Hardware Monitor with Furmark running (so
that both cards are detected), then close Furmark and wait a bit for the system
to become really idle again? Do any readings on the GPUs in Open Hardware
Monitor drop to zero or disappear? What does the temperature and fan display in
the Catalyst Control Center show for both GPUs after this test?
If any readings disappear when you are back to idle, can you test if the
readings return when you stress both GPUs with Furmark again (or if the
readings remain dead once a GPU has been turned off)?
I think the problem is caused by the fact that the driver powers down one of
the GPUs when they are not in use. Theoretically it should be possible to wake
the GPUs for detection, I am currently not sure if this is a good idea. That's
why answers to the above questions would be interesting.

You're rigth. One card is going to sleep, this is a feature of ati/amd.
A while after Furmark was running, the temperature drops to 0°C and the other
values are standing still (Core Voltage higher on 1V, the FAN fix on 1200RPM).
This is ok, its not a bug, its a feature ;)
If I start Furmark again, the temperatur and the other values are detected
automatically and the plot goes on.
It would be nice, if on windows startup the idle card could be displayed, so I
can set the plot active. This is my mainproblem. I always use the plot to check
the temperatur after gaming, but actually I have to "restart" Open Hardware
Monitor after starting a game. Then everything works fine (gaming, idle,
gaming, idle) till the reboot.

Thx for the report. At the moment I do not really know how to wake up all GPUs
(forced) without too much trouble. Of course I could create a rendering context
and add try to run shaders on all hardware, but the overhead to do that is just
huge. So I tried to enumerate all GPUs including those that are sleeping. Can
you try once more with this new alpha version:
http://openhardwaremonitor.org/openhardwaremonitor-v0.2.1.18-alpha.zip
and post again reports for the above three situations.

Now the sleeping card is available on startup. The clocks and the voltage of
this card arent displayed. Starting Furmark the clocks and the voltage are
automatically displayed. After going into idle again, now the clocks and the
voltage are displayed as "-".
Nice one! Thanks a lot!
