So..
I installed linux-image-4.9.0-2-amd64 to Stretch and it did not work, 
never got to sddm, just loads a black screen and then 
freeze/lockup/quits/dies/kaput.

Also I worth mentioning, the regression while booting Sid makes it 
painful to watch it boot, but it will get to the plasma desktop.
4.7.0-1-amd64 is still installed and quick too, works swell.
