I continue to have trouble with an old ATI card, although I guess Ubuntu 8.10 has the best support for it to date, but still not running the monitor in it's native res. Don't know about the bleeding edge, but up to about 8600 nvidia cards have "just worked" for me, including important details like refresh rate, and dual monitors / different resolutions. Of course, the newest ATI card I jettisoned, forget the number, didn't work well in Windows either.
