Does it hang *after* starting X? Can you post you Xorg.0.log after the crash?
I didn't see the AUR patches but I don't think they can conflict. Maybe you should report the bug upstream.## VGA ##

Did a little looking around, and some thread from a few years ago reported that same error, and said that adding nouveau drivers fixed it. It's strange, because I don't have a bit of Nvidia hardware in this machine, but figured I'd give it a shot anyway, and sure enough X started up without a problem.
Not only that, looks like the dGPU is set to dynamic power, which is new:
Code:[root@localhost echo]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch 0:DIS: :DynPwr:0000:01:00.0 1:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
I'll have to run some tests to see how it doess on battery life now that I've got this running.

Actually, turns out that I wasn't using the radeon.runpm=1 kernel option.
Trouble is, with that, I get hard CPU locks. I also am getting random lockups with some of the driver modules as well. Am posting from a different machine right now so I don't have the Xorg logs on hand.
Is likely going to be best (for me at least) to stay back on stock 3.12 until the mainline moves to 3.13.

Of course you can wait for 3.13 to stabilize, but even with stable there is no guarantee that it will work fine on your system. Instead you can report the bug and let the developers become aware of your issue. If they ask you the kernel version tell them drm-next-3.13 20131109 or link the patchset on my website.## VGA ##
