Bug Description
Issue:
After switching to a VT it is only usable for a few seconds and then it blanks out (goes completely black) but I can still write to it. Switching back to VT 7 (X11) and back to the VT I was using makes it usable again for a few seconds before it blanks out again.

HP z440; NVIDIA Quadro K620
Dell Precision T3500; NVIDIA Quadro 600
Notes:
The nvidia-367 package for Trusty is from the Canonical-
