See where it say UNCLAIMED. It means that you are using a plain vanilla driver and need an Intel specific graphics card driver to get full potential from your card. I am not a Debian user. Ubuntu which is what I use does this fairly well and drivers are easy to install. In Ubuntu with GNOME you go to System, Administration, Hardware Drivers, I am not sure if Debian GNOME has the same feature, but it is worth a try.
One of the ongoing problems with Debian is its insistence on no proprietary bits and I am not sure how far they are taking this vis a vis graphics drivers. Good luck!
