Bug 477242

SUMMARY

GVTg can be used on some Intel CPUs to provide vGPUs for virtual machines.
Whenever a virtual machine is using a vGPU, the intel driver i915 triggers an "add" uevent for "/dev/dri/card0" (the integrated intel gpu).
Every single time such an uevent happens, kwin on KF6 adds another duplicate display.

On current KF5 (5.27.9), the behaviour is different: It causes kwin to freeze with the warnings:
Nov 19 14:38:35 fedora.gatas kwin_wayland[21784]: kwin_core: Failed to open /dev/dri/card0 device (Device already taken)
Nov 19 14:38:35 fedora.gatas kwin_wayland[21784]: kwin_wayland_drm: failed to open drm device at "/dev/dri/card0"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. buy Intel 5th to 10th gen CPU
2. use Plasma 6 via kdesrc-build
3. setup a virtual machine using GVTg https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_GVT-g (what form of output you choose doesn't matter)
4. start VM (again doesn't matter how, if it's "virsh start DomainName" and you never look at it, it also happens)

OBSERVED RESULT

Flashing and scale change and new monitors keep getting added in the display settings causing worse and worse performance.

EXPECTED RESULT

Not having a dozen duplicate displays.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This is not an issue when using xorg or when using an older kwin_wayland KF5. But i do not remember the last working version. I just have it in my memory that i used wayland a few months ago in Fedora 38 and the same VM setup did work.
