Thanks a lot for that, it's really appreciated. I've just bumped my
homemade backport of 340.93-2 to 340.93-3~bpo8+1 which also allowed
me to go back to jessie default glx-* packages (0.5.1) and even better,
go forward to kernel 4.2.5. FWIW I didn't run into #799948 when I was
on glx-* 0.6.0 and found out about that bug just yesterday by way of
the misrouted mail up there. I've got my user in group video since
essentially forever, though, and /dev/nvidia* have been 0660 here
without issues. The display managers still running as root on jessie
obviously helped a lot - I assume the fallout was on stretch/sid only.
Regarding the -amd64:i386 kernels being on the way out, I'm currently
pondering where that leads me. With the C++ transition still rippling,
the KDE 5 feature regressions and all that, I consider sid (and as a
result, the current state of stretch) as times a little too interesting
for my taste. Nvidia pushing my GPU to legacy doesn't help either - maybe
I can finally get to grips with Nouveau. With all this shaky ground, the
i386 to amd64 sidegrade seems less intimidating than it used to. For the
time being, though, I'll stay with my nice and stable jessie and will
continue to occasionally probe the wild waters from an USB thumb drive
booting sid ;)
Thanks for the fix,
Andre.
