| [SOLVED] Dell Optilex SX280 Graphics |

I've now installed LL2.2, 32 bit, on an elderly Dell Optilex SX280, using a Samsung monitor with 1280x1024 resolution, but I can't set the display resolution to anything higher than 1024x768.
I know that the PC is capable of supporting higher resolution, and it appeared to deliver 1280x1024 satisfactorily in Windows XP.
The BIOS is the latest one available for the machine (I don't know whether this could be relevant). The machine has an Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller. I have downloaded the "Graphics Installer 1.0.7 for Ubuntu 14.04, 32 bit" from: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads
and followed the process outlined in the Release Notes at: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2...inux-1.0.7 .
When I ran the installer, it took several minutes, reporting progress as it went, so it seemed to install new drivers successfully. I was very hopeful at this stage, but it didn't make any difference. Following a suggestion picked up from another forum, I have also done "[size=1em]sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg".[/size]
[size=1em]The Additional Drivers tab in Install Drivers still shows "No additional drivers available".
I don't know how, or whether it is possible, to take it any further. Any suggestions, please?
System report attached.[/size]

| Question 64 or 32 bit LL 2.2 Opinions welcomed |

Have a 2007 ultra slim desktop HP Compaq dc7700 which currently has 3 x 1 GB Ram fitted running on 32 bit LL2.0
RAM usually only 10% occupied. Bios previously updated 2011 version.
System apparently has 64 bit capability so out of interest ran live LL2.2 from USB and all appears to be working OK.
Question therefore:-
What would be the advantage of running 64 bit instead of 32 bit given that existing RAM is only 3GB and barely occupied. To fully utilise the 64 bit capability the dc7700 will accept 3 x 2gb RAM modules. Not a cheap upgrade £65.00 or so
Bearing in mind the desktop PC is being used for "normal" office use NOT CAD, Intense Graphics ( photo editing) or gaming. is there any point in changing from 32bit to the 64 bit option; with or without RAM upgrade? Thanks

Joking apart this is pretty amazing.

Please add btrfs-tools to the iso. I encountered an error while installing LL 2.2 with btrfs format selected. Installing the tools package fixed it.
