Who surfs the web at 800X600 anyways?
Please tell me you're kidding. You are... right? That's quite possibly the worst thing you could do. While it's generally bad practice to do this, I'm guessing the effect you want could be acheived in Javascript, which detects browser screen sizes with ease. The hard part would be printing dimensions to a background-image; it can't be done, but a half-solution would be to have a bunch of image files pre-stretched to certain screen sizes and changing the link to the background image URI based on resolutions through Javascript.

Are you trying to make the image static as the page scrolls? because I can show you how to do that. Anyway, if you link to the page, I'm sure something could be done.
