For those who really need the new kernel modules, but feel uncomfortable
with the command line, I put together what I think is a "fool-proof"
double-click-able installer script. It has a bunch of error checking so
no harm should be done if trying. Maybe a bit of a overkill for this
issue here, but I wrote it as a possible basis for other things as well.

1. Download the attached package
2. Double-click on the package to open the archive
3. Click "Extract" to unpack the archive
4. Double-click the newly created "drm-easy-installer" directory (probably on 
your desktop)
5. Double click on the "easy-module-installer"

Just press Enter for the yes/no questions and enter your password when
asked for it. Enjoy!

Note: Downloading the current git today does not work on the current
Feisty kernel. Therefore use the version that is shipped with the
package, which is the same as in Joachim's post. If you download a "bad"
version, just delete it again from the directory, otherwise it will be
proposed as the newest candidate for building, instead of the old,
working one.

Of course, this is one of these third-party installer script your mother
warned you about...
