So can you confirm that after the fix the next code will work w/o 
exceptions?

I am worried since we updated the enumDisplayModes(), but did not update 
the getCurrentDisplayMode() which still uses the old code.

Actually it seems that setDisplayMode() should not work since 
JDK-8131752. probably someday we should change the code in 
X11GraphicsDevice.isDisplayChangeSupported(), which skip the xinerama case.
