Hi. I have found out that a very simple workaround works for me: suspend and resume. It is not so easy to trigger suspend while the screen is blinking. Therefore I have configured the machine to suspend when the power button is pressed. Thus my workaround in fact means pressing the power button, waiting a bit for the machine to suspend (it takes a bit longer while the screen is blinking), and then again pressing the power button to wake up the machine.
