Description: I am currently using a laptop with an Nvidia discrete card. I am running X using xrandr as of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus#Using_nvidia

After updatin to 267.27, X fails to start outputting the attached log. I tried checking some kernel logs (which I never had to do before today) using journalctl, but didn't find anything regarding X.

Downgrading all nvidia- and lib32-nvidia- packages solves the issue.

Additional info:
* Nvida GeForce GT 635M
* 367.27
* Xorg log attached


Steps to reproduce:
As above.
   Xorg.0.log (6.2 KiB)
This task depends upon

The xorg log says "system's kernel log for additional error messages". Can we get that? It's not xorg stuff that's important, it's the nvidia kernel module.

I checked the kernel log, turns out it was my fault for not updating initramfs.
I'm really sorry, thank you for your time.
