If stability is an issue, I'm not sure if the latest approach taken in kernel 2.6.31-21.32 is right - at least for an ThinkPad Intel i855 GPU like this:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02)
Subsystem: IBM Device [1014:0557]

Latest update to kernel 2.6.31-21.32 makes_X_completely_lock_up_the_box on bootup, while booting into an older kernel like 2.6.31-18.xx still works fine. All updates as of 2010.04.17 applied, and using X-server module from "xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.9.1-3ubuntu4_i386".
Booting -21.32 in rescue mode and manually starting X also locks up the box completely right away.

Downgrading to previus kernel -21.31 without the changes from comment #2, X startup works fine and stability is just perfect on the box too. Even running when compiz with a downgraded Intel X-server module from previous "xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.9.1-3ubuntu2_i386" works completely stable.
