I think that before adding the file with the configuration that I
mentioned (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf), I was using the
default driver. At least I don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
In essence the configuration I suppose that it will have been the same
one that I kept previously with Jessie and with which it was not having
problems with Jessie.
Currently I have these packages installed:
---------------------------------------
i xorg - X.Org X Window System
i A xorg-docs-core - Core documentation for the X.org X Window System
i A xorg-sgml-doctools - Common tools for building X.Org SGML documentation
i A xserver-xorg - X.Org X server
i A xserver-xorg-core - Xorg X server - core server
i A xserver-xorg-input-all - X.Org X server -- input driver metapackage
i A xserver-xorg-input-libinput - X.Org X server -- libinput input driver
i A xserver-xorg-input-wacom - X.Org X server -- Wacom input driver
i A xserver-xorg-legacy - setuid root Xorg server wrapper
i A xserver-xorg-video-all - X.Org X server -- output driver metapackage
i A xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu - X.Org X server -- AMDGPU display driver
i A xserver-xorg-video-ati - X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI display driver
wrapper
i A xserver-xorg-video-fbdev - X.Org X server -- fbdev display driver
i A xserver-xorg-video-intel - X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx
display driver
i A xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver
i A xserver-xorg-video-qxl - X.Org X server -- QXL display driver
i A xserver-xorg-video-radeon - X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI Radeon display
driver
i A xserver-xorg-video-vesa - X.Org X server -- VESA display driver
i A xserver-xorg-video-vmware - X.Org X server -- VMware display driver
---------------------------------------
I guess these would be the same packages I was using with Jessie (if so,
I suppose I would also have installed xserver-xorg-video-intel), but
honestly, I don't have registered the ones I had installed then.
Regarding hardware, here is some more information provided by lspci:

Note: I'm curious about the "<access denied>" in Capabilities.
Meanwhile I am testing the workaround suggested by Bernd about changing
the composer.
Thanks for your interest.
Kind regards,
Daniel
