ivy-bridge

Just built a system w/ a ivy bridge CPU (Xeon E3-1245 v2) with Intel HD 4000 onboard graphics, board is an Asrock H77 ProM.

I had loaded Ubuntu server 12.04.1 onto it, but wanted to fool around w/ gnome 3.

I installed gnome-shell, which didn't work, then gnome, which did, but only loads on fallback mode - the video is recognized as "VESA: sandy/ivy bridge graphics"

I tried installing the whole ubuntu-desktop shebang but it's still in fallback graphics.

Any way to get the full eye candy?
