YIKES! re Installing Ubuntu as guest VM on Snow Leopard with Fusion 3.1

Host: 17" MB Pro (early 2010) running 10.6.8 with Fusion 3

YIKES because

(a) guest Ubuntu 12.04 x64 (also x32) hangs if choose Easy Install where Fusion automatically installs Tools.

(b) guest Ubuntu screen impossible to read because default Ubuntu display resolution is not compatible with any resolution I use on MacBook.  Always looks like this:

And I am unable to read the tiny print on the center panel that ought to be filling most of the screen!  I can click on the correct buttons, but would be unable to do the terminal commands necessary for a manual install of Tools.  Can't switch to another machine because I'm on-the-road for the next 3 months.

(c) Need to get an x64 Ubuntu working to compile modules & create an install of a SourceForge project used by academics. Would be able to upgrade to Fusion 4 if required, but cannot abandon Snow Leopard due to other software needed for work.
