I have set up two monitors as Screen0 and Screen1 in xorg.conf
I am wondering how to display different wallpapers on these two monitors.
What can I put in my .xinitrc?
thanks

I'd take two wallpapers and join them together in Gimp or something. Then I'd just show that one wallpaper with an app like nitrogen or feh.

I think nitrogen has an option to set different walls on each screen, but the last time I tried it (a few months ago) this option didn't work correctly on my setup -- it worked fine when it was set for the first time but not after the restart of X. It might be worth it to try it and see if things have improved...

that was one of nitrogen's goals from its inception, as I run a dual monitor (non xinerama) setup. if it's not working, please let me know what's wrong.
Please test out rainbow.

Did this just now with nitrogen, worked great!

I use both nitrogen and feh. Sometimes I'm connected to a second monitor and sometimes not so I want the right wallpaper restored depending. I use the following in my .xinitrc:
if [ `xrandr | grep -c 3840` -ne 0 ]; then # running dual-head
nitrogen --restore # set different bg on each monitor
elif [ -f $HOME/.fehbg ]; then
eval `cat ~/.fehbg` # set standard single screen bg
fi
