I don't think it's the monitor's resolution that you should be concerned 
with, but your graphics cards framebuffer.  Since the graphics card's 
engine hasn't been fully activated yet, you are relegated to the 
framebuffer only to display images.  Normally this will be 1280x1024 or 
smaller.  Have you tried a 1280x1024 size jpeg for your background image?

Now I could be wrong, so hopefully someone will correct me, if that is 
the case.

Good luck!
