FBReader can do this in fullscreen mode, there may or may not be other applications that are able to as well. It is not (yet) possible to do this globally, or for the main desktop screen. If I recall correctly, some of the infrastructure exists, and some enterprising developer could start work on the project (although I believe it's not trivial). Search the mailing lists for 'xrandr'.
