Tom proposed the following answer:
Yes swap is fine, plenty of space for suspend to save contents of ram
into there.

I'm not completely sure about fixing the x-server either, hopefully
someone else might be able to advise on that later.  During boot-up do
you get to a menu with lots of options for booting into Ubuntu?  If not
there might be a moment during the grub stage of the boot when it tells
you to press "Esc" to access that menu.  The 2nd option should have
"recovery mode" near the end an choosing that should get you to another
menu, this time with a disturbingly blue screen.  It might be worth
trying a few options in there, especially "fix x-server" both going to
the top menu item "Resume normal boot".

I would guess that you've already tried minimising all the desktop
special effects?  I doubt it would make a difference to the errors you
are getting so early on but it might.  Also since ati withdrew support
for their series 1000 cards putting the drivers into their 'legacy'
drivers i've been having loads of troubles with all sorts of ati cards
so trying to reinstall drivers and stuff can cause problems right now.
Out of curiosity are you using one of their old proprietary drivers or
are you using an OpenSource one?  Neither seem much good and the newer
ones seem worse for me :(  I'm considering either getting one of their
newest range of cards or going with nVidia for the first time ever.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
