Description:

Latest Gnome session 3.4
GDM always fails to load, and I cannot even log on to Gnome Shell through another DM.

My laptop:
http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/A9P60UA?HP-ENVY-15-3040nr-Notebook-PC

There are two graphics cards in this computer: Intel HD 3000 and AMD Radeon
7690M.
The processor is intel core i7-2670QM (part of the sandy bridge series).
The speakers on this laptop are "Beats" and constantly crash on Linux. On Arch
Linux and Linux Mint error messages yield during startup about something not
loading correctly and slows down startup.

Sorry I could not be more specific. I will try to install arch linux later this week when I have more time to do so.
This task depends upon

It looks like you can't start X, since your missing an X driver. I advice you to disable either one of the graphic cards and install the drivers for the enabled gfx card.

HP's are generally good supported by linux btw.

I have this problem on opensuse 12.1, 12.2, fedora 16 and 17. I have no problem on kde and unity. So is this still an issue with graphics drivers and X?

since you're not providing any logs or show us that you installed your video drivers etc. we can't help you.
