tehownt, thank you for your comments. Regarding them https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1265544/comments/6 :
>"Christopher, no I don't."

Fair enough.

>"Plus, it's important to note, the drm-intel-nightly doesn't _fix_ the
issue, it's merely a slight workaround allowing the system to boot, as
mentionned in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1263015 as soon as
the screen goes blank, the system is lost and reboot is needed."

You might be able to WORKAROUND the dimming+freeze issue by disabling
screen dim in System Settings (which may have it's own systemd
WORKAROUND to get these to take). I'll let you comment further to this.

>"Also, the system comes with nvidia 730m yet installing nvidia-331 (on
drm-intel-next kernel patch) makes boot fail again (might have to create
a new bugreport on that though)."

If you patch the default Ubuntu kernel with out of tree branches,
especially an experimental testing ground like drm-intel-next, it's not
supported. For more on this, please see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds#Kernel.2BAC8-FAQ.2BAC8-DebuggingMainlineBuildsSupport.Does_the_kernel_team_support_the_mainline_kernel_builds.3F
.

Also, did this issue not occur for you personally in a release prior to
Trusty?
