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.)
