Nouveau should work out of the box, and if it doesn't, you should file a bug. What version of Ubuntu are you running? Oh, and you might have borked nouveau when trying to install the proprietary...
No. Just forget about fglrx/Catalyst. It's not going to work on modern distros.
Okay, so xorg is using fbdev. Weird. What happens when you use this for /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

Yeah, that's what I had in mind. I wasn't aware that you removed the open-source driver because I skimmed through the part where you were spinning your wheels with fglrx.
Note: please use [ code...
So if you have Intel graphics, why are you trying to install Nvidia's graphics driver? The only thing I can think of is that you have hybrid/Optimus graphics, in which case, you should remove the...
gnome-alsamixer is just alsamixer with a fancier GUI. Regular alsamixer works fine:

Sounds like it could very well be: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1169984

Did you remove the xserver-xorg-video-radeon package when you were screwing around with fglrx?
Post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Note that glxgears is not a benchmark, and it will always give you 60fps since it uses vsync nowadays.
Rhythmbox has been updated to use gstreamer1.0, while the apps you list as problematic use gstreamer0.10. See if this helps:

Just to mention it, that Adaptec card claims to be functional/compatible with regular 32-bit PCI slots, but it probably won't give you the speed you're looking for with SCSI RAID.
dmidecode is useful... the "-t slot" option will help whittle the output to the part you're interested in.
sudo dmidecode
sudo dmidecode -t slot

Nonsense! I'm still running Ubuntu 8.04 because I need Catalyst 9-3 to play gamez on my Radeon X600. Everyone else should be held back too!
Probably because it's a lot easier just to tell people that they can't use 12.04.2 with the legacy driver. Quite frankly, I'm not sure the commands I've offered will completely preclude future...
Xubuntu. Lubuntu/lxde will be even lighter, but more sparse than Xubuntu.
You can probably run Ubuntu/Unity okay, but it will take more battery because of the 3D acceleration.
Probably overheating, especially if that site uses Flash plugin to play video. Monitor your CPU temp...
snd-hda-intel is the correct driver. Most devices conform to this standard nowadays: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_High_Definition_Audio
If you want to try the latest version of the driver,...
Intel cards will also be listed as 'Unknown' until user installs mesa-utils: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/946620
Yeah, I've seen a few other radeon users struggle with that issue. If you hit it again, it would be worth trying newer kernels: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-raring/
The changelog lists the following changes. Which of those do you need so bad that it's worth a BIOS update?

You shouldn't expect 5 or 6 hours (especially with the discrete GPU). Manufacturers always exaggerate battery life and Windows seems to have better power management.
gconf system has moved to dconf, but I don't think the gnome media settings are even kept there anymore. They're probably in some unintuitive, hidden file (GNOME devs don't like to offer settings to...
They don't if they remove the packages listed... (they'll only get 3.2.x updates).
Intel drivers are open-source and come preinstalled. Simply installing the nvidia driver will not work. You'll have to use nvidia driver 319.17 (or later) and do some configuration:...
