I don't have much experience in that area so I can't be sure, but I think it would need to be backported. It will probably show up in the xorg-edgers PPA soon. See https://launchpad.net/~xorg- edgers/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=precise for detail on how to install and uninstall. Note in particular the warning to install the whole PPA and not just individual packages from it. The other option is to compile it from source on your machine - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware

Most bug reports on i845 are probably due to the CPU/GPU incoherency problem that is now consolidated upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26345 . For now, we mark all automatically reported GPU lockups as duplicates of this unless there is a reason not to. To use the available fix, run the following commands: apt-add-repository ppa:glasen/855gm-fix apt-add-repository ppa:brian-rogers/graphics-fixes apt-add-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver aptitude update aptitude install linux 855gm-fix-dkms aptitude dist-upgrade There is a similar master bug report for i855 at bug 541511.
