I've got the update from Hardy-proposed installed, and it looks OK, playing many videos with XVideo, both large and small.. However, I did get a freeze *once*, on a small video played in Totem, just right after I had installed the updated driver. The Xorg.0.log file contained many driver messages about some timeout/events, I'm sorry, I don't have the details handy at this computer (I'll see if I can provide the details when I get home, later today). It happened right at the moment when the video was loading in Totem, X froze. The mouse cursor could still be moved, and the machine otherwise running normally. However, keyboard in X was dead and console switch did not work. I rebooted with Alt+SysRq, S, B.

I don't use any extra options in xorg.conf for the Intel-driver.
