Title:
  intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo
  disabled

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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
