Or, you could temporarily change your sources to point to karmic and _just_ 
install the newest kernel.  Then change it back so that apt isn't always 
trying to upgrade to the full karmic release.

That's what I did because of Intel driver issues back in May or June, and 
it's been fine ever since, though I have to admit I've seen a couple of odd 
graphics issues with the latest driver/kernel in the last week.
