Don't put the x-over in a separate port-group, just configure it as a trunk 
between the two switches.  CAM tables will get the ethernet frames to their 
destinations.  The switches don't 'team' port-groups between 
switches...well except in the new 3750's I think you can, but not in any 
other series.

You can also get really simple ethernet autoswitch devices.  Can't recall 
any offhand.
