Tom proposed the following answer:
Ahah.  Onar we have another option in Ubuntu :)

Steve, thanks for the info earlier.  I'm sorry to say that you have
installed it perfectly, so we can't do that kind of 'simple' fix.

In the boot menu choose the option for Ubuntu that has "recovery mode"
at the end of it's line.  This should get you to a disturbingly blue
screen which has a menu for many routine maintenance, i usually run
through most of these about once a month.  The option "fix x-server"
might help fix your graphics issue ;)  and then the top menu item is
"resume normal boot".  If you've tried "Drop to root shell" then typing
"reboot" should just reboot the machine as normal.


Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
