The problem is 3-fold:
(1) updating to intel-2.7.0-1 is useless unless a major kernel update is made too;
(2) updating to intel-2.7.0-1 is *not* necessary as long as simply updating the kernel to 2.6.30rc{2,3,4} fixes the issue for intel-2.6.3 (which is the official one in jaunty);
(3) getting a 2.6.30 kernel in jaunty-updates is as probable as the pigs flying.

@Lionel:

You're right, there is a need for a "glxgears-that-counts-gears-not-screens", or even better.

But why doing it "like a game"? Compiz is not a game. Flash is not a game. Totem/VLC/MPlayer/Gxine are not games. CAD/CAM/CAE OpenGL applications are not games.

If video performance in Linux is only needed "because of the games", then you'll make of Linux "just another Windows". OS/2 tried that once...
