Black screen after the boot menu with Intel GPU (i915)

Several users reported that since upgrading to 3.11, Tails no longer boot, displaying an empty black screen after the boot menu in normal mode, and in troubleshooting mode it ends up with the following message :

Error starting GDM with your graphics card: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02).

Adding xorg-driver=intel to the startup options does not solve the issue.
