The only way I have seen these things work is with an xorg.conf file. This may help:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Reboot to test

well i found the anser myself. the problem is, that the default sorces of ubuntu dont include the newest verson of libdrm-intel1, libdrm-nouveaula, kibdrm-radeon1 and libdrm 2. the resolution was to find a new source with the version 2.4.39 of those files and to update the system afterwards you can use thecederview-drm driver.
