I was able to work around this, this might provide some clues. I installed ubuntu-12.04-beta1-desktop-amd64.iso to a USB drive with unetbootin. At unetbootin boot time, I changed the boot parameters to add "vga=789", this had it display in 800x600x24 mode. With this I installed 12.04 Beta alongside the Windows 7 Starter. When I boot the machine I get the purple Grub 1.99 menu with Ubuntu and Windows. I select Ubuntu. For 2 minutes and 20 seconds I get a blank purple screen, then 10 seconds of a blank black screen, then the Unity desktop comes up in 1024x600 resolution, the resolution of the screen, and the machine is in Unity 2D mode. The brightness control doesn't work. I have it set to have the screen turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity, that is not working, I have a black screen but it is still on.
