I'm having the same issue, but it seems to be getting worse with newer kernels.
I was able to do the suspend/resume trick to get a working screen, but this
seems to have stopped working with kernel 3.16 and 3.17. No amount of
suspending/resuming seems to get the screen to appear now, so I've had to stick
with 3.15 for the time being. I'm on Arch, so packages are fairly generic, but
I can provide any information that would help.
