If you want the missing packages, you need to add non-free-firmware to sources.list and then 'apt update'. You probably don't need firmware-intel-misc, but the -graphics package has firmware for i915. I don't know if it will make it work better.

Due to several issues with Excalibur I switched to Freia. Everything works.
Thank you , guys!

p.s. For the record

So for daedalus the i915 stuff is in firmware-misc-nonfree, but for excalibur they split it off into it's own package that fsmithred mentioned above firmware-intel-graphics.

Looks like most likely you had the daedalus version and were using it possibly, but after the upgrade the intel i915 firmware is no longer in the package so it's no longer on your system.

There's also a firmware-intel-misc package that's new in excalibur, not sure what's in that as I don't have an excalibur system on my machine right now.

Not necessarily, more so if your graphics are working properly.

I had the same issue with my Nvidia Quadro FX 580s and Nouveau drivers.

If you actually have i915 graphics, you might want to install a couple of packages. Run 'lspci' to check. In my experience, it will still work without that. I'm not sure if you miss anything that way - I don't do anything that requires intense graphics. Just simple games and video here.
