[Bug 1501941] [NEW] Screen turned off after X server exits

 

Public bug reported:

When the X server exits, the screen turns off and doesn't seem to re-
enable. The system is still running (i.e. can SSH in).

To reproduce:
1. Log into a session
2. Switch to the greeter (using indicators or running "dm-tool switch-to-greeter" from a terminal")
3. Log back into session

Expected result:
You return to the session

Observed result:
Screen goes black

This appears to be an issue in the Intel drivers, it occurs with the
current wily (2:2.99.917+git20150808-0ubuntu2). It does not occur when
downgrading to the vivid version (2:2.99.917-1~exp1ubuntu2.2 with some
patches to compile in wily).

** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
