Title:
  Fonts broken on second head when using zaphodheads with intel driver

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am running a fully updated version of Xubuntu 14.04 on a Lenovo T420
  using intel graphics.

  I run a second monitor with zaphod head mode.

  The fonts on any application on the second monitor are randomly
  broken.  I tried to fix the individual applictions - gedit, xfce-
  terminal, eclipse.  But the problem keeps returning.

  I found the error, and solution here:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54707

  The 2.99.212 driver seems to include the fix: 
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/tree/NEWS

  but the current version available with the package manager does not include the fix: 
  ii  xserver-xorg-video-intel                                    2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1                   amd64        X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver

  I'd like to get that version pushed forward if possible.
