In my home desktop, I have some onboard Intel Sandybridge video
chipset and the xf86-video-intel-2.17.0_1 driver. I think this is a
defect in the driver but once you are in the graphics mode, you cannot
return to the text mode. When I press Ctrl+Alt+Fn to exit to text
mode, I just see some garbage. Fortunately I can press Ctrl+Alt+F9 to
return back to the graphics mode.
