The driver dosnt support that, that i know of. But if you have Photoshop, or PaintShopPro ect. You could just put the two together side by side, and the Driver will strech it over both. So it will appear to be dual background.

Well I use Nvidia Drivers for my dual monitors. There is a setting in Nvidia for each monitor backround. I dont know about ati...but the solution is fairly simple.
When you have dual monitors it doubles the width of your desktop so if your regular desktop resolution 1024x768 then dual monitors would a desktop resolution 2048x768. Here is what you do. Get the two images you want on each monitor and load them into psp or ps7 whatever image software package you use. Make sure the images are the correct size. For this example two images 1024x768 one for each monitor. Open a new canvas and size it to 2048x768 then paste the two images side by side and they should fill the canvas perfectly. Now load this new 2048x768 image as your new backround image and you will have each image displayed on each seperate monitor. Because your desktop is 2048x768 just split between both monitors. If the images are on the wrong monitors just go back into your image software and swap them to the other side. If your running each desktop at different resolutions then this method will not work. For the most part people run dual monitors in the extended desktop mode so this will work for you.
