I don't think it's possible.

A starting point would be to look at the latest upstream (RHEL, Fedora) 
packages, now renamed xorg-x11-drv-intel. RHEL 6 ships with v2.11 and 
Fedora 14 with v2.12. Even those older versions have Requires far beyond 
what is present in RHEL5. IMHO this looks like a non-starter.

I think you'll need to pick a distro that supports the hardware out of 
the box in this instance.

Sorry.
