xrandr controls XINERAMA, Intel, NVidia or AMD driver features.
What driver are you using?
Do you have a completely dynamic xorg.conf, or one that you
wrote or edited?

I think you want to read
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/multihead
to understand the terminology and the capabilities.
It sounds like you are asking for separate screens, rather than
multihead (merged screens) or Zaphod (separate screens, separate
X sessions, possibly separate users). That requires lower-level
configuration than xrandr.
