    Description

      Due to QTBUG-48545 I need to evaluate porting an application heavily using multiple (up to four) screens to xinerama.

      While this works fine with Qt 4 I encounter problems with Qt 5. Instead of two separate screens only one huge screen is reported.

      In QTBUG-48545 you find a test application. Qt 4 correctly reports

      4.8.6 screen count 2 
      root widget for screen 0 QDesktopWidget(0x8e85a78) QDesktopWidget::geometry() QRect(0,0 3840x1080) reverse nr: 0 screenGeometry QRect(0,0 1920x1080) 
      root widget for screen 1 QDesktopWidget(0x8e85a78) QDesktopWidget::geometry() QRect(0,0 3840x1080) reverse nr: 0 screenGeometry QRect(1920,0 1920x1080)
      

      while Qt 5 returns

      5.6.0 screen count 1
      root widget for screen 0 QDesktopScreenWidget(0x82ba188) QDesktopWidget::geometry() QRect(0,0 3840x1080) reverse nr: 0 screenGeometry QRect(0,0 3840x1080)
      

      qtdiag is confused as well

      Screens: 1

      LibGL Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
      Renderer: Quadro FX 580/PCIe/SSE2
      Version: 1.4 (2.1.2 NVIDIA 340.65)
      Shading language: 
      Format: Version: 1.4 Profile: 0 Swap behavior: 0 Buffer size (RGB): 8,8,8
      

      The problem shows up on machines configured with the proprietary nvidia driver. The very same works fine in Virtualbox.

      My problem is now that for the given setup Qt 5 fails in multi screen mode with and without enabled xinerama while Qt 4 works fine.
