Hi,
I have tried hard to get multiseat working on CentOS 7, systemd and gdm (and Quadro FX3800) and NVIDIA driver 340.96. But to no avail. Has anyone succeeded yet?

Yes, I have a working multiseat with Debian, systemd and gdm.
X -h
SUBSYSTEM=="pci", DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:05.0/0000:02:00.0", TAG+="seat", TAG+="master-of-seat", ENV{ID_AUTOSEAT}="1", ENV{ID_SEAT}="seat1"
sudo loginctl attach seat1 path-to-your-device

success,

After I made the udev rule and triggered it, one of the graphics cards showed up in seat1. After rebooting and/or init3/init5 there was still a single seat. The xorg.0.log told me it grabbed the two NVIDIA cards and the xorg.1.log told me there was no screen left. How can I make a second X-Server start on seat1 by configuration in xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d? I tried introducing the “MatchSeat” keyword, but the NVIDIA driver does not recognize it.
Any help greatly apprecitated.
Joachim
At least I succeded! Thank you for your invaluable help, Floris!
The solution is solely in the “MatchSeat” keyword. First I tried it with CentOS 7.1 which has xorg driver 1.15. This version does not recognize the keyword. MatchSeat was introduced with xorg 1.16
(see [url]https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-multiseat/msg00251.html[/url])
After I updated to CentOS 7.2, which brings xorg driver to version 1.17 everything worked like a charm.
Best regards,
Joachim
