There are two different technologies for X display drivers.
xserver-xorg-video-intel uses the older, DDX. It hasn't had an official release in
nearly a decade. Unofficially it's in maintenance mode. The newer technology
driver, modesetting DIX, is provided by the same package that provides the Xorg
server, so cannot be removed independently of the server. The 945GM is the among
the newest Intel IGPs not supported by the newer driver. By removing
xserver-xorg-video-intel, the newer DIX display driver should automatically be
utilized by your i7's IGP. It may be worth trying to solve your issue, if indeed
you're not already running the DIX on your i7.
