How can I use 'newer' version of Intel X drivers?

[Chris G-6]

I have a problem with my 9.04 [x]ubuntu system and the Intel graphics
drivers.  It seems to be pretty exactly the problem desribed at:-

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/375545

Since a new version of the Intel drivers seems to fix the problem
(9.04 provides 2.6.3, fix is in 2.7.1) it would seem that if I install
the later drivers it should solve my problem.

Can anyone tell me how I go about getting the newer Intel display
drivers please.

Hi,
For my part, I simply installed 2.6.30 Linux kernel:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30/linux-image-2.6.30-020630-generic_2.6.30-020630_i386.deb
and http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30/linux-headers-2.6.30-020630_2.6.30-020630_all.deb

And not the 2.7.1 intel driver?  I'm pretty sure you need both.  I got the
driver by adding this ppa:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xorg.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu jaunty main

Do you get better openGL accelleration with these new drivers? OpenGL goes incredibly slow on my ubuntu 9.04 (kernel 2.6.28)

I had to check, but yes - I didn't get openGL _at all_ with the old driver.
