Thanks rektide - we have worked closely with Userful and Plugable for example to help multiseat USB work well on linux. As you say USB 2.0 provides a pretty good solution here.
Sorry if you took my remark to be mudslinging.

You are right on the ball - multiseat on Linux is much better than the Microsoft solution.
My comments were about hotpluggable multiscreen support on Linux being a bit poor.

Well life is complicated. We worked very hard with the USB-IF to produce the USB A/V spec, but that wasn't finished until after we'd made the USB 3.0 chip. We hope to support it with a FW update at some point in the future, but it's very hard to know when currently.
It has long been a desire to enable our ASIC designers to use the technology they are developing to have multiple USB screens on their linux desktops! Unfortunately we're not quite there yet.
I can understand your frustration.
