Yes, you use he fact x is a network server and run each screen as a separate client.
Very funny.
X11R6.4 had it with Xinerama extension, back in 1998.
Xinerama came with the price of not supporting mixed DPI. It was logically a single screen, just with irregular shape, so all screens had to be same DPI (and bit-depth, but that's not an issue nowadays).

Bit-depth is certainly an issue these days. I've got a 1920x1080 60Hz 8-bit/color 24" monitor and a 3840x2160 144Hz 10-bit/color 27" monitor. Different resolutions, refresh rates, color depths, sizes, and DPIs, on a very modern system.
X doesn't like this. Wayland works much better.
People want to move windows between their screens.
The lack of proper HiDPI support was really starting to become a problem when trying to run Linux on a laptop that isn't from the early 2000s. Fortunately, with wayland, it now seems mostly solved (at least in Gnome and KDE).
