Don't forget that you need the latest linux-image from sid aswell. Beside the hints given for pinning and setting the default release I'd consider, for a one time pick, to just change your sources.list to unstable, apt-get update apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-core linux-image-2.6.30-2-yourarch. Afterwards just switch your sources.list back to squeeze and apt-get update.
