Hi,

I'm running Squeeze and having a lot of trouble with Xorg freeze with my
Intel video, so I'd like to install the Xorg version of Sid, while keeping the option
to go back to the testing version.

Don't forget that you need the latest linux-image from sid aswell.

Beside the hints given for pinning and setting the default release I'd
consider, for a one time pick, to just change your sources.list to unstable,
apt-get update && apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-core
linux-image-2.6.30-2-<yourarch>.

Afterwards just switch your sources.list back to squeeze and apt-get update.
