[ubuntu-x] Help building intel driver

[Geir Ove Myhr]

Thank you for the help. I was able to apply the patch to the commit
before 8d4bc36fae50b09a73ba2cfab920adb32141a358 and compile. Reverting
8d4bc... gave conflicts, so that didn't work, and debuild -b -us -uc
on the current package did not work either (error at the end for
reference).

It looks like the patch didn't work, but I just want to make sure I
didn't screw up anything. I did:
- add xorg-edgers PPA to /etc/apt/sources.d, and upgraded
- apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-intel
- ./autogen.sh (in source tree)
- ./configure --prefix=/usr
- make
- sudo make install >makeinstall.log

It seems that this should have copied the driver to the right place. I
did this first without the patch, rebooted the computer and checked
that everything looked normal (bug still there). Then I applied the
patch and ran make (only a few files were compiled again then of
course) and make install again. On reboot, nothing had changed.

Did I do something wrong here, or can I report back that the patch didn't work?
