I don't really recommend doing this for the current intel ubuntu package, given the bugs I mentioned above. Also, (according to the xorg mailing list) there are some performance regressions and other problems... Things should improve when version 2.2.0 of the driver is released. Also, it's not easy to download if you're unhappy with the new server.
If you still want to upgrade to this package (or something else from hardy), here's how: Go to synaptic, settings->repositories->third party software->add Enter this into the dialog with this (one line): deb http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/ubuntu hardy main restricted universe multiverse or with this: deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu hardy main restricted universe multiverse (you can replace the url with your favorite ubuntu mirror if you want) Hit OK through the dialogs, and click "reload". Upgrade just the xserver-xorg-video-intel package and any dependencies synaptic says need to be updated. Hit apply. Once it's done, go back to settings, and uncheck the entry you created for hardy. Otherwise, when you update your system, it'll upgrade everything to hardy versions (which might be what you want...). You can also selectively upgrade by editing /etc/apt/preferences, or messing with settings->preferences->distribution in synaptic.
