There is probably a driver issue with Ubuntu...

My advice: stick with Windows LOL

additionally, i love the effects of Ubuntu, and if i wanted every single effect on Ubuntu but on my windows, my ram would blow up along with my processor.

I see where you are coming from.

The problem is that Linux is less point and click then Windows and there will always be things that you will have to figure out yourself. Nothing is as well supported on Ubuntu or similar.

Have you tired posting on the Ubuntu forums or emailing the manufacturer?

yea. i cant wait for hardy, i saw your post looks intense. 10 monitors =O

also, honestly, i don't like the ease of windows, i like to learn about computers and codes. so i learn a lot using linux and therefor that adds on to me liking it.
