You don't know that if you didn't try. Something in the driver could have
changed to cause a rounding difference that differs in 9.4 from 9.3 that puts
your narrow specification out of range. You didn't provide much detail about
what the problem is, that is, what you do or did beside replacing 9.3 with 9.4
that causes it:
1-Is 9.4 an upgrade from 9.3, or a fresh installation?
2-Is it a standard systemd installation, or one that's using sysvinit?
3-Is there a displaymanager installed and running? If so, which one?
4-Are you running startx as root, or as normal user?
5-Are you including any command line options to startx? If so, which one(s)?
6-Do you get the same failure on all vttys?
7-Do you get the same failure booted to the previous kernel?
> and i'm in poor health and not energetic enough to test your solution
Anyone who has enough energy to write an email has enough energy to edit
xorg.conf and restart a PC or startx. I'm not in good health or energetic
either, but that doesn't stop me from typing an email or editing config files.

What does that mean? Did you try? Comments near the end of
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=801605 suggest it very well
might. (permissions on /usr/bin/Xorg or content of /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
