That's not possible since the both crtcs are pointing at the same
desktop. since the desktop is 1600x1200, you wouldn't be able to fit
everything into the 1024x768 frame. you could try adding another
metamode where both crtcs are 1024x768:
Option "MetaModes" "1600x1200-1024x768 1024x768-1024x768"
then use xrandr to switch between the mixed size mode and the same size mdo=
e.
