4x is good. 1x would take too long.

You can install ALMOST anything in Ubuntu...
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/add-applications/C/index.html
or...
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/add-applications/C/index.html
For the Compiz problem, did you try the Hardware Drivers manager yet to see if there were any drivers for your video card? (System>Administration>Hardware Drivers)

I haven't had any experience with Intel cards but you should be able to find quite a few posts here on the board that should help you. Try the "Tutorials and Tips" section or "Multimedia and Video".
