[Bug 1454237] [NEW] Thinkpad T520 / i915 blank X display in 15.04

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrading my Thinkpad T520 laptop to Ubuntu 15.04, the X server
gives a blank black screen (but backlight is still on).  I can switch to
other virtual consoles (ctrl-alt-F1, etc) and log in, so the rest of the
system is running just fine.  The blank screen shows up regardless of
how X is started -- via lightdm, using startx, or even running X
explicitly.
