I think some of your problems could have been avoided by using the "regular"/Gnome version of Ubuntu ...
Well, darn. I tried Ubuntu once, but it seemed large, heavy and slow so I switched to Xubuntu to get a lighter system to which I could add just what I needed.
Forgive me, but why don't you want to let GRUB take control ?
This is because of my present solution to the problem of multiple versions of AVR Studio. I have multiple disk partitions with Windows XP on them. One is activated, the others just run to the end of the 30 day grace period and die. So, I frequently re-install Windows XP and load up whichever version of AVR Studio I need. Every time I do that, I would mess up GRUB. It's just easier to let NT Loader have its way and use it to boot GNU/Linux (well, actually, boot GRUB which then boots GNU/Linux). This is not at all hard to do. You just copy GRUB stage 1 off the first sector of the boot partition into a file, move that to the Windows C: drive and add C:\BOOTSECT.LNX="Linux" to the end of boot.ini.
I don't know what driver is installed by default in Xubuntu.
The ATI proprietary driver. The configuration tool is also ATI. I will take a look at the alternatives you gave. Thanks for your interest in this, Vincent.
Graham.
