It is possible
to combine this with Xinerama, but the results are pretty strange.

4.6 Scrolling Virtual Screens and Xinerama 75
Figure 4-6 shows the relationship between virtual screens, physical screens, and the
Xinerama screen. In this example, the virtual size of screen 0 is the same as the physical
size of screen 1, but the resolution of the physical screen 0 is lower.
The mouse pointer will still cause the screen 0 to scroll until the right edge of the virtual
screen is encountered, at which point the mouse will move onto the adjacent
screen 1.
I find the visual effect disorienting, and it??™s even worse if more than one screen is
configured to scroll. I can??™t think of a good use for this configuration!

However, it might be useful to configure two Xinerama screens of the same size,
where one screen is completely displayed on a monitor and the other screen is a virtual
screen with a smaller physical screen, as shown in Figure 4-7.
