Why proprietary rather than FOSS driver? I have GeForce 8400GS (GT218) running TW 20160406, without using startup xrandr or any non-default configuration in xorg.conf*, with Plasma sessions on tty3 (simply startx) and tty4 (startx -- :1) and IceWM (startx /usr/bin/icewm) on tty5, all same user login. Other than not finding them on tty7 & up where they used to be, they seem to work same as always, as with Intel or ATI gfxchips.
I have a Maxwell based graphics card (Geforce GTX 750). nouveau (Tumbleweed version) does not run with this card. I already tried this.
Kernel 4.6 will provide support for the Maxwell graphic cards. I am not sure, if a Mesa and/or xf86-video-nouveau update will be necessary too.
I was a little too quick in clicking send, omitting to ask if you tried running with neither nouveau nor nvidia drivers installed. I just found out 3 days ago[1] that the modeset driver built into Xorg works better than gfxchip-specific drivers for many, but forgot until after responding to you yesterday to try for myself. Could modeset be already working for Maxwell?
[1] https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/4cojj9/it_is_probably_time_to_di... Good question. For my tests with nouveau I uninstalled the NVidia driver with "nvidia-uninstall". Unfortunately the uninstall-function is not complete. I had to remove the "blacklist nouveau" config file from /etc/modprobe.d and I had to remove the "nomodeset" setting from Grub.
To be sure, I also re-installed all Mesa libraries, build new initrd-files and I rebooted several times. Anyway, if I configured the "nouveau" driver I got the"Unknown chipset: NV117" errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: [ 105.407] (II) LoadModule: "nouveau" [ 105.408] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so [ 105.410] (II) Module nouveau: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 105.410] compiled for 1.18.0, module version = 1.0.12 [ 105.410] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 105.410] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 20.0 [ 105.410] (II) LoadModule: "nv" [ 105.410] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so [ 105.411] (II) Module nv: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 105.411] compiled for 1.18.0, module version = 2.1.20 [ 105.411] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 105.411] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 20.0 [ 105.411] (II) LoadModule: "modesetting" [ 105.411] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so [ 105.412] (II) Module modesetting: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 105.412] compiled for 1.18.2, module version = 1.18.2 [ 105.412] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 105.412] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 20.0 [ 105.412] (II) LoadModule: "fbdev" [ 105.412] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fbdev_drv.so [ 105.413] (II) Module fbdev: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 105.413] compiled for 1.18.0, module version = 0.4.4 [ 105.413] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 105.413] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 20.0 [ 105.413] (II) LoadModule: "vesa" [ 105.413] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/vesa_drv.so [ 105.413] (II) Module vesa: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 105.413] compiled for 1.18.0, module version = 2.3.4 [ 105.413] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 105.413] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 20.0 [ 105.413] (II) NOUVEAU driver [ 105.413] (II) NOUVEAU driver for NVIDIA chipset families : [ 105.413] RIVA TNT (NV04) [ 105.413] RIVA TNT2 (NV05) [ 105.413] GeForce 256 (NV10) [ 105.414] GeForce 2 (NV11, NV15) [ 105.414] GeForce 4MX (NV17, NV18) [ 105.414] GeForce 3 (NV20) [ 105.414] GeForce 4Ti (NV25, NV28) [ 105.414] GeForce FX (NV3x) [ 105.414] GeForce 6 (NV4x) [ 105.414] GeForce 7 (G7x) [ 105.414] GeForce 8 (G8x) [ 105.414] GeForce GTX 200 (NVA0) [ 105.414] GeForce GTX 400 (NVC0) [ 105.414] (II) NOUVEAU driver [ 105.414] (II) NOUVEAU driver for NVIDIA chipset families : [ 105.414] RIVA TNT (NV04) [ 105.414] RIVA TNT2 (NV05) [ 105.414] GeForce 256 (NV10) [ 105.414] GeForce 2 (NV11, NV15) [ 105.414] GeForce 4MX (NV17, NV18) [ 105.414] GeForce 3 (NV20) [ 105.414] GeForce 4Ti (NV25, NV28) [ 105.414] GeForce FX (NV3x) [ 105.414] GeForce 6 (NV4x) [ 105.414] GeForce 7 (G7x) [ 105.414] GeForce 8 (G8x) [ 105.414] GeForce GTX 200 (NVA0) [ 105.414] GeForce GTX 400 (NVC0) [ 105.414] (II) modesetting: Driver for Modesetting Kernel Drivers: kms [ 105.414] (II) FBDEV: driver for framebuffer: fbdev [ 105.414] (II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa [ 105.415] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1 [ 105.415] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV117 [ 105.415] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1 [ 105.415] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV117 [ 105.415] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1 [ 105.415] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV117 [ 105.415] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1 [ 105.415] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV117 [ 105.416] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1 [ 105.416] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV117 [ 105.416] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1 [ 105.416] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV117 [ 105.416] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1 [ 105.416] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV117 [ 105.416] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1 [ 105.416] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV117 [ 105.416] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1 [ 105.416] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV117 [ 105.416] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1 [ 105.416] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV117 [ 105.416] (II) modeset(0): using drv /dev/dri/card0 [ 105.416] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev [ 105.416] (II) Loading sub module "fbdevhw" [ 105.416] (II) LoadModule: "fbdevhw" [ 105.416] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libfbdevhw.so [ 105.417] (II) Module fbdevhw: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 105.417] compiled for 1.18.2, module version = 0.0.2 [ 105.417] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 20.0 [ 105.417] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa [ 105.421] (==) modeset(0): Depth 24, (==) framebuffer bpp 32 [ 105.421] (==) modeset(0): RGB weight 888 [ 105.421] (==) modeset(0): Default visual is TrueColor [ 105.421] (II) Loading sub module "glamoregl" [ 105.421] (II) LoadModule: "glamoregl" [ 105.421] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so [ 105.431] (II) Module glamoregl: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 105.431] compiled for 1.16.2, module version = 1.0.0 [ 105.431] ABI class: X.Org ANSI C Emulation, version 0.4 [ 105.431] (II) glamor: OpenGL accelerated X.org driver based.

This kernel should have support for my graphics card and has the necessary signed NVidia firmware binaries. Anyway, I would prefer a solution the NVidia proprietary driver. I do not use multiple X session so often, but I use other NVidia functions like VDPAU very often.
