"drm:i915_stolen_to_physical" error after starting DM, flickering TTY

I just installed Arch on my Eee PC 900, installed lxde and enabled lxdm with systemctl. Then I rebooted and it gets stuck at this:

[  OK  ] Started LXDE Display Manager.
[  OK  ] Reached target Graphical Interface.
[   11.155637] [drm:i915_stolen_to_physical] *ERROR* conflict detected with stolen region: [0x3f800000 - 0x400000000]

I think that's the right number of 0s, anyway...

It flickers on a short interval, and Ctrl-c doesn't do anything. I can switch to tty2 though, but it switches me back to tty1 after a few seconds. When the display flickers, it's really quick, but after many tries I managed to snap a picture of it, and realized it was showing me tty2 on every flicker. So, when I get switched out of tty2, that's when the flicker happens on tty1...

WTF is going on here?!

EDIT: I just realized I can use the somewhat-functional tty2 to disable lxdm. So until I figure out why I can't launch it, I'll stick to the terminal. It still throws that error, but only once, just after the login prompt comes up, and it doesn't bother me after that.

EDIT2: It's this bug.
