I've uploaded this change to wily. There is a possibility that there
might be a regression for some users with DPMS but I think that is less
severe than the effect on those who are left with the screen off. We'll
look at doing an update if upstream provides a fix.

Title:
  Screen turned off after X server exits

Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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).
