Yes, this was the easiest workaround but it forbids screen going down. So issue is persistent for that.

I get this, I just wanted to mention it. Once the "fix" from drm-intel-next eventually gets backported, this could be looked upon.

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

Brand new laptop, installed Trusty directly on it. Tried Saucy but had the same issue so went back to Trusty dev build.
