 People keep reporting problems with xf86-video-intel when it really should not be used on any modern system. Intel dropped support for this driver years ago. Unless you have a really old system with a device that predates at least Sandy Bridge, the proper thing to do is to simply delete it. I'm not sure why xorg still prioritizes it ahead of modesetting which is the correct driver for any modern system using Intel graphics.
I would like to see some information that modesetting is the right driver for any recent Intel graphics, but it seems obvious that the old Intel driver is needed for Intel graphics, even though it is the wrong answer.
