[Bug 1452855] [NEW] Screen lit off on iMac 12, 2 after a while

Public bug reported:

Hello,

I'm running Ubuntu on an iMac 12,2 since november 2012. From time to
time and more and more frequently the screen lit off. The only way i can
get it on is to suspend/resume. But then, it lit off soon. I suspect
some heating. Actually, the output of the cooling system is way hotter
with Ubuntu than Mac OS X.

So i would like to switch to the IGD card rather than the discrete one.
But there is no vga_switcheroo.

How to debug screen lit off ? How to detect screen heating ? How to
disable discrete card ? Is it kernel ? Xorg ? Where to search ?

Regards,
Étienne
