The SNA fix https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ion_method works for me as well.
I'm using a Lenvovo X1.
Same here, wx520. I discovered the following:
If I run "startx", and then "optirun glxspheres", and then I quit x and run "systemctl start gdm", gdm starts without crashing and seems to be ok. So the graphics card seems to be improperly inialized somehow when starting it from gdm.
This is with "pacman -S intel-dri xf86-video-intel bumblebee nvidia". I also tried uninstalling bumblebee, but gdm crashes then too.
It's exactly what happens to me as well. I dont have to do the optirun part tho. If I launch startx after I quit it gdm works smoothly otherwise it just freezes everything (I cannot even switch between terminals).

After logging in with the workaround from #7, I was able to apply the first method from #17: switching to SNA acceleration as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ion_method. This solved the problem on my Dell XPS L502X machine.
Thank you all!
I also have an Dell XPS L502X and did what marcvangend, tobsen and yangtsesu told and now my Arch 3.8.8-2-ARCH + gnome 3.8.1-1 + gdm 3.8.1.1-1 + bumblebee 3.2-1 + nvidia 313.30-4 are working fine.
I had gnome 3.6 working on my machine and did an system upgrade using pacman -Syu this week. I didn't have to reinstall all gnome DE.
In summary:
1-First I hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 like a freak before system freezes.
2-In console I run the command systemctl disable gdm, and systemctl enable gdm
3-In console I run the command systemctl start gdm
4-Created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf using SNA acceleration as said in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ion_method
5-Created /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf as said in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ng_Options, the final content of file was:
options i915 i915_enable_rc6=0 i915_enable_fbc=1 lvds_downclock=1 semaphores=1
6-Deleted folder /var/log/gdm
6-Reboot

Before gnome3.8 I used the commented params.
