I'm running dual monitors with my radeon and I was wondering if I could use different backgrounds for the different monitors

nope, only with nvidia. i don't think hydravision supports this, it didn't the last time i was using it (1 year ago) it might now though, but i think only nvidia does through the drivers.

ultramon should make it work on ati cards.

You have to pay for Ultramon. It's not free. Nvidia NView has pretty much everything Ultramon has for free.

I don't think ATI Hydrovision has this option. But its been awhile since I used Hydrovision.

Trial version you can download is only good for 30 days. It's $40 if you want to buy it.
