+I think NVIDIA drivers have been screwed up just from ''apt-get upgrade'' (8/17 and 11/17).  Perhaps this process can overwrite the xorg configuration that the Nvidia installer injects.
+**Remember to keep turning the amp on** (CBL-SAT/HDMI2) -- as soon as Alan goes dark it'll start turning itself off automatically, making it look like nothing is working.
+Can be installed via apt from non-free (avoid unless the proprietary drivers don't work), but this is version 340 (stretch: 375 (8/17)) whereas NVidia offer version <del>367</del> 384 (8/17).

+Install as root after stopping x with ''service gdm stop''.  The installer will offer to rewrite your xorg config; do it.
+Old version via non-free (not recommended, although it sounds like they are getting to be more up-to-date in stretch):
