We hope that it will work well in Lucid which is due to be released on April 29th [1]. But since we don't write the code, we depend on the upstream code to work.

The xorg-edgers PPA [2] currently has xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.10.901+git20100226.a0ee9c3d-0ubuntu0sarvatt) which is identical to 2.11.0 RC1. Of course, since this PPA will be updated continuously, things may break in the future, but if you find the driver to work and stop updating xorg, you may have a stable system until things are better supported. Note that it is often problem in the kernel drivers and not necessarily the DDX driver (which is what xf86-video-intel/xserver-xorg-video-intel is).
