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"
