AFAIK, you can not. Well at least not automatically via System Preferences. I suppose you could get a graphic/image that is twice the resolution of the monitors (assuming both displays are the same size) and "snip" down the middle and apply them to the displays as backgrounds.

WOW those are beautiful wallpapers, thank you very much for the link even I didn't ask for it.

When you open up System Preferences and open the Desktop/Screen Saver pane, a window pops up on the second monitor for selecting it's desktop.
okay, don't shoot me, but does anyone know how to show two different backrounds on a dual screen win XP Pro machine?
oh... now I feel like a moron. I hate having to use the pice o crap at work. I wish we cold move towards MAC, and away from Novell.edesignuk said:
Still no luck. I can't get it to spanto the other monitor, only mirrow backrounds. I thought it might be due to the different screen resulotions, but that didn't make a difference.
Dual Monitor Software
Someone was looking for a program that lets you use 2 different pics, one for each monitor. We use UltraMon, great little program, even puts a task bar on the second monitor, and there are some other real nice features.

you definitely need to checkout mandolux. hands down the best multi monitor wallpaper out there. Why on earth don't more people know about an artist that good? You can buy high res versions of his work over at istockpro too.
The fellas at CineMassive Displays recommended it to us for our our new trio. The wallpaper is a little distorted because we have a slightly irregular setup, but you can't really tell on the abstract works, even on the portrait displays.
I don't have a photo of my setup but their website does a pretty decent job.
