Plasma 5 doesn't support multiple xscreens when using two Nvidia GPUs. To work around this I have patched plasma-workspace to allow me to filter out monitors by their serial number. The underlying issue is that the way Plasma 5 identifies monitors is by their xrandr output name. It assumes this is unique. On Nvidia this isn't unique which confuses Plasma.

Does anyone know if this bug has been fixed in Plasma 6? I'll probably find out the hard way but it would be good to know before hand. I suspect I need to patch the Plasma 6 source to get this working.

I've upgraded to Plasma 6 and the same issue is there, but it wasn't difficult to patch plasma-workspace to get it to ignore two of my monitors. The source for screen.cpp had hardly changed at all between Plasma 5 and Plasma 6.
