3 Headed Display Ubuntu Wallpaper

1

I got 3 display working in Linux. I have set it up so I have Xinerama and 3 different X sessions. So my 3 displays are not all the same size, two are 1680x1050 and then the other which is between the two is 2560x1600. So my issue is when I chose span, even if the image is larger than all 3 resolutions combined, the center monitor has bars at the top and the bottom because span scales the image it seems. Is there a way if I bypass the gui to have an image span all three monitors but with no scaling?

Urgent! Please help! ;-)

Well.. try a tiling WM if you want to experience some more pain and useless spending of time. :)) – Apache – 2010-07-04T04:42:10.650

I came up with one option after a flashback to the 90s...

From Terminal:

gconf-editor

The in Apps/Nautilus/Preferences uncheck "Show Desktop"

Then in the gconf editor:

display -window root ~/Pictures/KeswickCropped.bmp
