I can't get rid of the green console with intel too, I'm using the
nvidia card for now. (with brightness always at 100% because it's
handeld by the intel driver).
There is several bug reports for this issue that came from the intel
driver like this one :
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27220 but I don't see
much news :/
