Assuming that we may patch the 2.7.1 driver installed and the x-updates entries in /etc/apt/sources.list (from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/) , this is how to do it (the ubuntu/debian way):
1. Install some essential stuff to build packages `sudo apt-get install build-essential` 2. Install the packages that xserver-xorg-video-intel needs to build: `sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-intel` 3. (Optional) Make a subdirectory for the source code `mkdir intel-testing; cd intel-testing` 4. Get the source package xserver-xorg-video-intel `apt-get source xorg-server-video-intel`. This will download the package (a tar.gz file and a .diff file) and create a new directory with the source code called xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.7.1. 5. `cd xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.7.1` 6. Apply the patch with `patch -p1 </path/to/0001-vga-hotplug.patch` 7. Build the binary packages with `debuild -b -us -uc`. This should produce two binary packages (.deb files) in the parent directory. xserver-xorg-video-intel and xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg. 8. Install the packages with `dpkg -i xorg-xserver-video-intel*.deb` Whether it works or not, please upload the Xorg.0.log from this to the upstream bug report. Make sure you still have ModeDebug enabled.
