if you are looking for updated packages this depends on your distribution.

For Ubuntu Lucid you will find
- updated kernel module (the module only) here:
  https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix/
  (you have to remove this package when the bug is fixed in ubuntu kernel)
- or a whole kernel update here:
  https://launchpad.net/~dnjl/+archive/kernel/
  (which will be superseded/updated in the case its fixed in ubuntu kernel)

Also, dont forget to install all other provided updates!
On my systems no updates for drm or xorg-intel are needed anymore.

For other distrobutions I don't now...
