@myramenisgone - so the xorg-edgers PPA fixes this for you on 15.04?

I haven't yet filed an upstream bug because I still haven't figured out
whether this is a bug in the kernel vs. xserver-xorg-video-intel, etc.

But if the xorg-edgers PPA fixes this for you on 15.04, that's an
extremely helpful hint.

So far my hunch has been that this bug is *not* in the kernel, as the
latest 4.1rc* mainline builds don't fix it.

Title:
  15.04: Broadwell HD 5500: screen corruption after logout

Status in System76:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  On a 1366x768 Broadwell i3-5010U laptop (System76 Lemur lemu5),
  sometimes after I logout there is strange horizontal
  wrapping/scrolling corruption at the lightdm login screen plus a fixed
  vertical wrapping (see attached video).

  After the first time that the screen goes wonky, I see this error in
  dmesg:

  [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe A
  FIFO underrun

  Logging back into to Unity seems to consistently fix the screen
  corruption after a few seconds.

  This doesn't happen every time you logout, but probably happens 1/3 of
  the time or so. Occasionally I'll also see similar corruption during
  shutdown right around the time that X stops and Plymouth takes over.

  Interestingly, on a Broadwell i3 desktop connected to a 1920x1080
  external display via HDMI, I've never encountered this problem. So it
  might be related to the specific 1366x768 screen resolution or to the
  embedded display port (eDP).

  I filed this bug against the kernel because of the dmesg error from
  the DRM module... but the problem could just as likely be in xserver-
  xorg-video-intel.

  For what it's worth, I've tried the latest 4.0 mainline build from the
  kernel PPA as well as the 4.1rc1 mainline build, and this problem
  still exists with both. I've also tried the slightly updated X
  packages for 15.04 from the xorg-edgers PPA, and this problem is
  likewise still present.
