== Raring Justification ==
Without this patch, some 3d sessions fail to initialize with nouveau on many GeForce cards.  This bug is fixed upstream[0], but it has yet been pulled into Linus' tree.  The patch is in the drm-nouveau-fixes branch, so it may make it into 3.7.  However, new installations from daily images on affected hardware will be affected by this bug until it is merged into mainline.

	drm/nvc0/disp: fix thinko in vblank regression fix..	

== Impact ==
Users will login and get blank screens after installing raring on the affected hardware.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter as well as other bug commenter's, also affected by this bug.
