I've installed Debian stable (Jessie) on a Acer Notebool (Aspire ES 15).
If I try to start some programs (qtcreator, processing) I see:
LLVM ERROR: Cannot select: intrinsic %llvm.x86.sse41.pblendvb
I think the reason is a not working 3D acceleration.(But I'm not sure)
I already installed the video-intel package with:
apt-get -t jessie-backports install xserver-xorg-video-intel
but this didn't change anything (even after reboot).

I solved it by updating my kernel from 3.16 to 4.3. For Debian Jessie, the new kernel can be installed from backports:
Actual image name will depend on what kind of hardware you have and what kernel flavour you prefer.
