No no no! :) No! :)
I can't stretch that enough: eglfs doesn't support this application!

Those plugins (eglfs, simplegl, minimalegl, kms,...) only support one(!) 
fullscreen opengl-surface..
Therefor one can't mix QWidget-classes with QGLWidget (as it's the case for 
hellogl_es2)


Take qmlviewer or similar and use QGLWidget as viewport for the 
QGraphicsView/QDeclarativeView
(-opengl as argument for qmlviewer)

QWS != QPA

They are different, independent Qt ports.
They can't co-exist! You have to take one or the other!


eglfs is a platform plugin for QPA
Their is simplegl for QWS, but I got no clue about it's current state.

Me advice is to try QPA and eglfs as I know it's working.

You will not have that problem with qt5, as qws is gone ;)
