I think the video card still can't be exported to a domU, but things might
have changed by now.

You might want to give the xen-users list a shot, from my experience it's
nicer to use a low-powerconsumig system for the xen host and keep another 
system for the workstation. You could still use X11 to access the ubuntu 
system :)
