how do you have 2 seperate wallpapers when you have a dual monitor setup? I have a radeon 9600 and its connected to 2 LCD's, but I can't configure them to have seperate wallpapers. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

I don't believe this can be done.

It *might* be possible if you turn on that abomination known as Active Desktop...

Why not just take 2 pics and convert them in to one? So it's one picture but each part will go on each lcd. Simple!

You have to combine two images together with a photoediting util if you want to do that with an ATI card.

While your at it, adjust some 3d settings. Watch your 2nd monitor/lcd flicker with EVERY change you make.

Bottom line - if you want a good multimonitor setup, you should have used nVidia. ATI sucks balls in this department.

take 2 wallpapers and connect them (using paint or any editing program), then use the tile option in the desktop properties after setting the "new" dual wallpaper as your background

Matrox owns them both. :p
