I tried building the driver with the patch on the Gnome version of
Ubuntu alpha-1, and the screen went blank after booting. I'm not home
to try logging in with ssh, but when I am, I'll try installing the
binary driver and continue on ... I won't have time to try xubuntu
until after the weekend.

It's completely normal that you lose data on "Windows" platforms.
That's why you have a UNIX or Linux or BSD server for backups.
