Not with the current Xinerama implementation. The best you could do is
if you had a card that had 3 or 4 outputs and could used MergedFB mode
on that card and put the other monitor on a separate card.

Yes, this is what I ended up doing. Unfortunately, it confuses the KDE
desktop running on the two other Screens into thinking, they all have
Xinerama enabled too.

I guess, the KDE code, that determines, whether or not there is Xinerama is
per-server instead of per-screen :-(
