Comment 259 for bug 1568604

Same issue as reported in comment #244. The fix release for elementary OS only applies to version 0.4 Loki. Those of us running 0.3 Freya with the Trusty LTS Enablement Stack have not received an updated xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-xenial:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: elementary OS
Description: elementary OS Freya
Release: 0.3.2
Codename: freya

$ dpkg -l | grep xorg-video-intel-lts-xenial
ii xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-xenial 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1~trusty1 amd64 X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver

According to comment #203, the fix is in xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1.1 (versus 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1). Hopefully this package will be updated in Trusty, so distros such as elementary OS Freya can benefit.

As mentioned before, the workaround is switching ttys with Ctl-Alt-F1 and then back with Ctl-Alt-F7.
