I'm having the same issue on 14.04.4, and I think the solution in #40 will work for me. However, I am having trouble downgrading the xserver- xorg-video-intel version from lts-wily (2:2.99.917+git20150808-0ubuntu4~trusty2).
When I try and install the specific version mentioned in #40 I get unmet dependencies: xorg-video-abi-15 and xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.14.99.902), followed by "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages".
