Upgrade to Natty - Problem & Disappointment

[Tony Pursell]

I have just upgraded to Natty.  It all went well, but on rebooting I
have a Problem and a Disappointment.

The Problem is that the Grub menu isn't displayed, nor is the Ubuntu
splash screen.  All I get is a message from the monitor telling me to
change the setting to '1280 X 1024 60Hz' and then it goes to sleep.  It
wakes up just before the login screen.  Is there a grub setting I need.
I think I used to have a VGA setting, but that may have been with Legacy
Grub. Any ideas?  I need the Grub menu to be able to boot into Windows
every once in a while to do the things I cannot do with Ubuntu.

The Disappointment is that it says I have not got the hardware to run
Unity.  This is despite running Unity from a USB stick with the final
Beta on it for the past week.  Why is that?  This is what lspci -vv says
