When I want update packages I do custom rpms, and recently use mock (*)
to build the packages. 

#cd fedora-scm/
#git clone git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/xorg-x11-drv-intel.git
#cd xorg-x11-drv-intel/
edit xorg-x11-drv-intel.spec 
change version to Version:   2.20.16

fedpkg mockbuild --root fedora-18-x86_64 (or fedora-14-x86_64)

fedpkg mockbuild --root fedora-18-i386 (or fedora-14-i386)

and finally 
rpm -Uvh the build rpms

if not have mock and fedpkg in F14 you could try 

rpmbuild -ba xorg-x11-drv-intel.spec ... 

(*) my notes to use mock
