It's easy; here is the link, it worked well for me even though compiz is
a bit slower (but I am using EXA and not UXA with the old driver because
it is not strictly necessary to use the latter).

Check the Xorg logs before and after doing it to be sure that the driver
version changed (when the intel driver is loaded a string containing
"intel" and the version is shown in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, can't be more
precise because I am using another machine now).
