Kdm background and dual monitor

archdave · 2008-11-20 00:09:47

Currently I am using x86_64 with Kdemod (kde4) and a dual monitor setup (twinview with screen #1 at 1680x1050 and screen #2 at 1280x1024 for a combined 2960x1050 desktop).

It appears that the kdm background uses the file /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/oxygen/background.svg with a size of 1280x800.

After booting when kdm is displayed the above image does not scale/streach to the 2960x1050 total desktop size, but instead covers all of screen#1 and only approximately a 1/3 to 1/2 of screen #2.

After logging in I get a 1680x1050 background on screen #1 and a 1280x1024 background on screen #2 (indivually set using Desktop Settings).

What needs to be done to get the login background.svg image to either fit in screen #1 or streach to fill both screens?
