Is it possible to configure xserver to support one physical monitor with multiple virtual screens?
The fakexrandr project can fake one physical monitor with multiple virtual monitors but not screens.

Not with FakeXrandR. As far as I know, screens are a core X11 concept, not an abstraction introduced by RandR.

(But, if I get you correctly, it sounds as if you might search for Xdmx?! http://dmx.sourceforge.net/)

I believe that with the RandR 1.5 additions, the Monitors concept would allow splitting an output (physical display device) into virtual outputs for use with separate screens. I have tried this yet, though.
