Jordi, I have made a PPA and built a package with the upstream patch there. This is the first time I build and publish using a PPA, so I'm not 100 % sure I did it correctly, but at least on the third attempt I didn't get any error messages, and on the fourth I'm pretty sure I got the patch in before it was built. https://launchpad.net/~gomyhr/+archive/ppa/

In order to build the newest driver I had to make the PPA depend on the xorg-edgers PPA. This is because the newest driver will not build without limdrm-dev is >= 2.4.11 and the version in Jaunty is 2.4.5. In practice this means that you must use the xorg-edgers PPA and then replace xserver-xorg-video-intel with the one in my PPA. With a Jauny LiveCD/LiveUSB it is probably easiest to use the xorg-edgers-live-test script from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/xorg-server/xorg-pkg-tools/files (you can include it on the USB stick, or simply download it from the LiveCD session) to install the packages from the xorg-edgers. Then the driver from my PPA can be installed to replace the one from xorg-edgers.

Try if this works for you first. Another option is to use a Karmic LiveCD with KMS turned off at boot, verify that the issue is present (there's no reason it shouldn't) and only install intel driver. That avoids using the xorg-edgers PPA, but I think I will have to rebuild for karmic then.
