You could try adding something like

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "NoAccel"
EndSection

to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

If that helps, then try swapping the NoAccel line with

        Option      "AccelMethod" "UXA"

(I think the default was changed from UXA to SNA in 2013...)
