I don't have much time now so this is right of my head, but the general idea should work.

Make a div that covers the whole area you want the image to cover and set the overflow: hidden. Then place an image in the div. If the x-mouse cordinate is less than something move the image to the left (decrease the left variable/style) and if it is higher increase it instead. When you move the image you also have to make sure that no part of the div is left uncovered, you can to this by putting an similair image either on the right or on the left depending on the situation. To make the image scroll smoothly you can use the setTimout function to call the scrolling function at suitable intervalls.

It might also be possible to get the effect by using background: repeat and then moving the background of the div in a similiar fashion, but I'm not sure if all browsers support that correctly...

sketch: kuckus has been working on exactly this kind of thing for the GN (with panoramic scrolling too). Its perfectly possible - have you made a start on this or is your question more general?
