I tried two Panasonics a while back, one ten times the price of the other.  The cheap one worked if it was plugged in when the system booted the £7,000 one we couldn’t get to work with either Xubuntu or Ubuntu, or Windows Vista for that matter.  This was with a Matrox graphics card.  It did, however, work with the salesmen’s laptop and an Ubuntu Live CD (which he took away), using nVidia graphics having downloaded the appropriate driver and using the nVidia settings/control program.
So it seems to a mixed bag still.
