I apologize, I didn't mean to boss anyone around. I'm not in charge, nor am I a maintainer or triager, I am just another user. Please don't take this as representative of the ubuntu community. I talked briefly with a maintainer of xserver-xorg-video-intel, and they suggested the procedure for incorporating the necessary fixes for this issue in the non HWE release. Based on the response to Freedesktop#79165, it didn't seem to be obvious which patch this is, however. Cf. http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2015/02/26/%23ubuntu-x.html : | [20:51] <mlankhorst> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates is the procedure | [20:51] <mlankhorst> bit of paperwork + making a fixed package Unfortunately I will not be able to assist with this issue any further.
