I was thinking of these changes in Stretch:
* For many Intel graphics chipsets, the Stretch X server will use the
modeset driver instead of the intel driver. The modeset driver may
require non-free firmware (firmware-misc-nonfree) to activate features,
even on systems which did not use this firmware under Jessie.
* For some older graphics chipsets, support has been relegated to
"legacy drivers", which require the old setuid X server to run. Install
xserver-xorg-legacy if you require one of these drivers.
Text from <https://wiki.debian.org/NewInStretch>. This may have nothing
to do with your issue. It's just the first thing I could think of that
could possibly be related.
