Thanks for the reply! 

It's a one year old install and from beginning I got sporadic freezes (one
every ~ 3 months or so). Since the latest kernel updates they happened more
often, especially with the RT kernel, which I use for audio processing (i.e.
making music). However, I also can use the standard kernel, it works even
better. When freezes happened with the RT kernel I often see kernel logs like:

[drm:intel_pipe_update_end [i915]] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe A
(start=149361 end=149362) time 4939 us, min 1073, max 1079, scanline start 863,
end 71

This is not the case with the standard kernel. Freeze from above seems to be
due to activated compositing. 

If problems persist with standard kernel (Linux fox 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian
4.9.144-3.1 (2019-02-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
) + Compton, I try the backport kernel. If it still doesn't help backport
kernel + backport mesa. Is it possible that it will work with compton?

Strange thing is that I read every that the i915 driver should work fine with
stable. I really want to avoid a new installation at the moment. Next year I
plan to upgrade to Buster. 

Thanks for your help and cheers!
