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.
