Re: Screen too small?
Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
You have Intel graphics, which should be fine. As a test I'll just get you to log out (go to the Unity Dash and type "log out" and it's the first item that appears. At the login screen, next to your name, click on the little cog icon and choose "Ubuntu 2D" or "Unity 2D", whichever one it's called. Log in and tell us if the little top bar appears now.
It should appear no matter what graphics card you have, but maybe Unity 2D works better.
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
