    Since I am having this same problem with my B&W G3, maybe
    this will work for me too. What exactly does "you should
    just be able to load [sungem]" mean? From where and how?

    One of the things that got me really interested in trying
    out Ubuntu is that it's goal is to "just work." I realize
    its still in the beginning phase right now, but I'd really
    like to get it to "just work."
