I have previously used the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild . Instead of getting
the vanilla upstream kernel in #2, I would use the drm-intel-next head
from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ickle/drm-intel.git.
Then you would need to apply the patch before going on. If you have a
faster newer computer, I would recommend building on that one, because
compiling a kernel on the computers that have an 855GM chipset tends to
be slow. You will need to use the 32-bit version of Ubuntu on that
machine, though.

It is probably better to use Maverick than Lucid for testing this. Natty
even better. With Natty, you should be able to steal most of the kernel
configuration from the drm-intel-next mainline build in step 4 (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds).

I haven't done this in quite a while, so I don't remember all there is
to it.
