Yes:

$ LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy beignet-opencl-icd

I can't confirm the "look like" since I fail to see any screenshots on
this report but it sounds similar.

>From what I can read in the freedesktop.org bugtracker it seems
backporting beignet 1.1.1 to Jessie has good chances to solve this
issue.  Would you confirm this suspicion and would somebody care for the
backport upgrade?  I tried a brain dead build of the 1.1.1-2 package
source in a Jessie chroot but this failed due to a Build-Depends of a
not yet available clang version.  I have no idea whether this version of
clang is needed (or clang instead of gcc at all) but "simply trying to
backport beignet 1.1.1" is out of my time limit I could spend on this
problem. 

Kind regards

       Andreas.
