The fancyhdr makes what you want if you redefine the way the running headers
are constructed. From my report style preamble:
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{
\markboth{\thechapter.\ \textsc{#1}}{}} % number . chapheader text in small caps
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{
\markright{\thesection\ \textsc{#1}}} % number sectheader text in small caps
% markers style redefinition
\rhead[\fancyplain{}{\it\leftmark}]{\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}}
% left header : chaptertitle on odd pages ,
% page number on even pages
\chead{} % empty center header
\lhead[\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}]{\fancyplain{}{\it\rightmark}}
% right header : sectiontitle on even pages,
% page number on odd pages
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\renewcommand{\plainheadrulewidth}{0pt}
% rule control: no rules on chapter pages
This must be too complicated for your needs if you build a one-sided
document because of the fancyplain stuff (chapter are on fresh
odd pages, and we want only the page number without rule in that case).
It's a bit intricated, but I'm afraid you must
dig in this if you really want a particular page layout.
