I am running Debian stretch on a Dell Latitude E7470.

Could it be that that hardware is too new for Stretch....
This is my output from xrandr, I expected to get information about
what outputs are available. My laptop is connected to another screen
(also Dell) though a docking station (HDMI).
hedkam@hopper:~$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1920 x 1080, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080
default connected 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1920x1080 0.00*
My guess so far is that it is a driver problem!?
What would you suggest is my next move?

Show us the entire Xorg.0.log and lspci | grep VGA and/or hwinfo --gfxcard
output and maybe we can better tell what to suggest, but uninstalling
xserver-xorg-x11-video-intel, which should cause the server's incorporated
modesetting driver to be used instead of the intel, then restarting X may
indicate whether it's driver or other. Maybe that CPU needs Sid's server
and/or driver.
