No problem here with an almost up to date sid machine;
And with a similar configuration, though older I think:

I suppose you already use "modesetting":
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/intel_graphics#Installation
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel#Modesetting_DDX

I believe it is the default with debian

I'm going to test it also with another similar computer and keep you informed.
