Re: Xorg & i915 & backport-kernel causing BUG
As another data point, I am using the backported kernel and Xorg with
similar hardware and it's working pretty well. The only issue I see is that
occasionally chromium messes up the frame buffer permanently and I have to
restart X to fix it (happened 3-4 times over 3 months).
My kernel is:
Linux zorak 4.5.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.5.3-2~bpo8+1 (2016-05-13)

I am using the backport, it looks like Jaeoued is not.

It's working for my hardware which is similar. It also fixed a rendering
problem with "fog" I was having in a game. I previously had to work around
that problem by setting
MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE='-GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two'
but now that is no longer needed and it renders correctly.
