You shouldn't even need to create that xorg.conf.d snippet. It should just work automatically. You *will* however most likely need to install some non-free firmware packages, e.g. firmware-misc-nonfree . unicorn:~$ sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware [...] [ 10.387158] i915 0000:00:02.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin [ 10.387505] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Finished loading DMC firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin (v1.4) unicorn:~$ dpkg -L firmware-misc-nonfree | grep i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin (That's from my system, which is not necessarily the same model of Intel onboard graphics as the OP's, but all of the modern Intel graphics chipsets need non-free firmware for acceleration to work.)
