Right, upgrade, not new installation, so kept. :-p
Is firmware-misc-nonfree installed?
https://wiki.debian.org/NewInStretch (at the bottom):
Try 'apt install xserver-xorg-legacy'. Whether that is simply about setuid or
more I haven't figured out, and likewise, how Stretch decides whether to use the
intel or the modeset driver.
Use of the intel driver can be forced (tested here on i965Q) by creating:
File:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-use-intel-gfx-driver.conf
Containing:
Section "Device"
Identifier "somestring"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
It may or may not need to include any of the following if you experience visible
disruption:
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
Option "TearFree" "true"
