Details
Description: Upstream bug, reported here[1].
Additional info: Affects all kernels after and including 3.4rc1. Hasn't caused any noise on the forum, but reporting it here to make Arch devs aware of it. Unconfirmed on i686. Patch attached (re-adds an "unused" variable to struct drm_fb_helper_crtc). Steps to reproduce: Have a GTX 560 Ti, install any kernel from the 3.4 or 3.5 series, then try to boot.

There's a similar bug[2] affecting some laptop models. There's a link to a patch for that in the comments.

Try rebuilding the kernel with the patch I attached. It's worked for me and at least two other users so far.
Haven't tested it yet.
It's expected to be applied upstream by 3.4.5, so it may be worth holding off modifying the PKGBUILD until then, then just dropping the gtx560ti patch (not sure if it affects the laptop backlight bug)
I can confirm that the patch works for me.
