The xorg-edgers is made so that the packages depend on each other in
the right way. So while it may work to only install the
xserver-xorg-video-intel .deb from the ppa, it may happen that it
doesn't (if the xorg-server in the PPA is too new compared to the one
in Karmic, for example). The way it is meant is to add the PPA to
/etc/apt/sources.list and then do a `sudo apt-get update` and a `sudo
apt-get dist-upgrade`. It used to be quite cumbersome to back  out
again, but now there is the ppa-purge script in there that does that
easily (`sudo apt-get install ppa-purge` to get it after having
xorg-edgers).

Otherwise, you got it all right :-)
