Thanks, floris Why are you trying to downgrade from 3.18 to 3.16? Is 3.18 not working for you or something? Yes, unfortunately is the combination of Nvidia, Gnome 3.18 and a multi seat setup not working. So I try to figure out where the problem is. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802335 Downgrading packages in Debian is very difficult. It has been done, but it is virtually impossible unless you're willing to do lots of manual.. stuff. Ok. I will give it a go and try by hand Thanks, floris

After some angst, I have four monitors working, but it took the nvidia dkms package and nvidia settings to get the driver and display right for me. Ric
