If not, what approach might work? I think you want to read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/multihead to understand the terminology and the capabilities. It sounds like you are asking for separate screens, rather than multihead (merged screens) or Zaphod (separate screens, separate X sessions, possibly separate users). That requires lower-level configuration than xrandr. -dsr-
