I have an ATI Radeon X1800 GTO with two dual-link DVI monitors attached to it. It's configured to act as one large screen. The background image doesn't stretch across both screens though; it just centers itself on each monitor. I know it's possible, but I can't see an option for having a picture stretch across the background on both screens. Could anyone help me?
I would also like to know if I can have a different background image on each screen. Thanks.

Re: the answer suggesting stretch. I tried that already, but thanks.

Ok, I found out what my problem was: I had a picture that was wide enough to go across both monitors, but it was also very tall. When I told it to stretch it centered and stretched it on each individual screen. However, when I cut the top and bottom off of the picture to create a very wide picture, it was able to stretch it across both screens.
Since both answers below are technically correct (but neither was the answer to my question), I don't think I should give either of them points because giving them both points is not an option. I suppose that I'll let the voters decide.

You have to have made or make your own wallpaper/background. You have to make the wallpaper/background the size of both your monitors combined [example: 2 monitors measured at 1440x990 each would require a wallpaper/background measured at 2880x990]. Then I believe you can "stretch" it to fit both monitors as ONE background over BOTH monitors.
