first off, does ubuntu detect your monitor correctly? You may have to 
use a custom monitor (supplied with ubuntu). This custom monitor works 
on my machine. But i noticed that when i plug it in to my 15-inch 
monitor, it only displayes at 640X480, but when i use it on my 12-inch, 
it displays at 1024x768. I looked and noticed that it was using custom 
monitor driver and that it didnt have the drivers for neither one of my 
monitors.

HTH and correct me if im wrong
