Could you please verify if it is working after the last updates and mark the topic as resolved? o/
The latest gdm(3.18.2-1) and gnome-shell(3.18.3-1) only reduced the frequency of this bug for me(dual monitors). (50% => 20%)

PS: After updating cogl from Vi0lo repo, finally I was able to launch cinnamon. Next step, try gdm and gnome.
]]>The gdm/nvidia issue has been fixed in latest gnome-shell/gdm. If you can't wait for upstream to land you can use my modified PKGCONFIG/patches and rebuild the package yourself using makepkg. I kept the version so that the new ones will override when they land.
Get the modified/patch included pkgbuilds at http://filebin.ca/2JqhF7yesNEY

Just extract, go to gdm and gnome-shell each and execute pkgbuild and then pacman -U <package>
-This has worked for me. Thanks almindor.
]]>Should I flag the package as out of date?
No.
Try the latest release
GNOME 3.18 is the latest version, released in September 2015.
So even flags for 3.18 being out of date are inappropriate.
You can build from git and/or the AUR and/or ABS if you want the newest development version. But the current stable version is 3.18.
]]>Question about protocol: The version on the master branch got bumped. Is this considered stable? Should I flag the package as out of date?
]]>If my patched version of gdm/gnome-shell (see page 2 on this thread) didn't fix it for you then your issue is a separate one.
FYI: Patched version working great here. Thanks, Almindor! Our long national nightmare is over.
]]>I've been looking on the forum and so far nothing has helped me.
I have a clean installation of Arch with GNOME. When I try to start GDM it just sits at a black screen.I've tried install nvidia, all xorg packages, everything I've seen recommended.
I have an nVidia 760 in this PC and in my laptop I have Intel onboard which it will also not display on.
I did a test run on vmware and it worked perfectly. Any ideas? What error logs should I provide?
If my patched version of gdm/gnome-shell (see page 2 on this thread) didn't fix it for you then your issue is a separate one.
Given what the patch changes it might be a not-only-nvidia issue however. There is nothing nvidia-only in this bug. It just only happened on nvidia due to it being so damn fast
]]>Welcome to the forums ThePlague. I'm not sure how you missed the thread on this exact issue. I'll merge your post into it. (edit: merged)
I didn't miss it. Nothing here worked.
