Ubuntu does not recognize Intel CPU-integrated HD3000 graphics

[peter sebregondi]

I have a self-built PC with
- an Intel Core i3-2125 processor with CPU-integrated HD3000 graphics,
- an ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 mainboard, and
- Linux Ubuntu 11.10.
I've just moved from Windows to Linux.
Ubuntu system info says:
- Graphics: Unknown
- Graphics Driver: Unknown
- Graphics Experience: Standard
So Ubuntu is not recognizing the Intel CPU-integrated HD3000 graphics, and therefore the power of HD3000 is most probably not usable.

This appears to be as far as Intel goes:
http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm
They say:
    "Intel does provide development drivers for Intel graphics to the open source community. These development drivers are intended to provide the Linux developer community with an opportunity to provide feedback for the driver. Driver source code can be obtained from public source code repositories found in the download section of the Linux and Intel graphics web site http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ which is a third party site not managed by Intel® customer support.
Development driver support is only available through the open source community.
Operating System: Linux*
This applies to: 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 3000/2000, ..."

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I overcome this problem in 12.04 Beta 2 installing mesa-utils package. After installing it the graphics are identified correctly.
