Public bug reported:

I have a laptop: HP Elitebook 8740w, running Ubuntu 10.10
When I boot Ubuntu, right at the outset, on the initial black screen, I get the 
message 
"intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled"
Following this, all is fine.  Except, there's no graphics accelleration; the 
i915 doesn't seem to be being recognized.  

The laptop also has a ATI Technologies Inc Broadway XT [Mobility Radeon HD 5800 
Series]
chip, but that doesn't give acceleration either.
The upshot is, I can use Metacity, but not Compiz.  And the machine is using 
significantly less than its potential chip power.

I have tried the upstream MainLine kernels 
2.6.37-02063701-generic
and
2.6.38-020638rc6-generic
downloaded and installed from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
I have also tried other new kernels myself, that I've compiled, tweaking the 
.config, and patching (e.g., Eric Anholt's patch of 21 Dec 2010, 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/423441/)
All to no avail.
Thanks,
Dominik
