The Intel package driver was already purged from my system. I tried
reinstalling it to no use. Purged xwayland, too (which I don't use but
nevertheless installed). No help. I've also checked dmesg, messages,
Xorg.0.log & syslog and syslog and found nothing out of the ordinary
in those logs. It just doesn't work.
I'd be happy to revert back to kdm but it's no longer in stretch or
sid. My laptop uses a GM45 chipset, circa 2009. Yes, my laptop's old,
but I'm typing this message from Windows 10 insider preview which
works just fine.
How about trying lightdm or tdm? One of my _newest_ desktops[1] has two Stretch
installations, and a chipset much like your laptop's (see attachments). I just
did apt-get upgrade on its sda24 installation. TDM and TDE[2] session still seem
to work normally.
