Do you have 'xserver-xorg-video-intel' installed? If not install it and
see if your missing firmware goes away.
xserver-xorg-video-intel might actually be a problem. If installed,
Xorg uses it if you don't explicitly override. It's no longer the
driver of choice for most Intel gfxchips. If you're not using an
antique Intel gfxchip, you probably prefer the modesetting driver that
is integral to the server:

Modesetting was causing me problems....the image viewer feh was
segfaulting so I had to
create an xorg.conf file to go back to the old way.
I was going to report a bug on xserver-xorg ( as the docs suggest) but
report bug on
my machine won't run because of python problems and I haven't found the
time to
figure out reporting bug via email.
