@GloriousCoffee, in the case of independant displays, it's possible that both would be on. When you launch a program, it would default to the :0 display. And you would manually select launching a program on to the :1 display. Hard to explain except with shell commands;
DISPLAY=:1 libreoffice &
DISPLAY=:0 firefox &
It may be @jiyong is correct, the 4096 x 4096 apparent limitation may be a software limit. Quite reasonable for a laptop, until you add in an external display.
Anyway, I don't know the answer to this issue.
I do want to remind people that as far as the Pinebook Pro goes, it's early days. The PBP has been out maybe 6 months. We finally have lots of Linux distributions' support, the Wiki is coming along good and we now have many tested and known to work peripherals. Unlike the "big boys", our PBP is a community driven project / product. So, we are the ones to figure it out, not like the "big boys" do before they release a product.
