Set the virtual desktop nice and large in size, define both displays as
pointing to the same desktop and then xrandr will let you decide which
rectangle of the display is on each monitor (and these may overlap)

On Fedora you just select multihead in system-config-display to do this.

Once you've got the virtual desktop then xrandr will let you move
displays around with xrandr --output whatever --pos XxY

You need drivers which support randr 1.2 and I believe currently you need
a video card with multiple outputs - you can't do this across two cards,
but that may have changed by now.
