Given that the source of your issues rests entirely with the
proprietary video hardware that the manufacturer is NOT ALLOWING
Linux distributors to support, it seems way WAY !_WAY_! out of
line to be be cursing Ubuntu about it!

Your complaint is with ASUS, and possibly with Mafia$oft being
to blame as well if they are (as is very, very likely) coercing
ASUS not to release API information or produce a Linux driver.

Blame where blame is due dude, and the blame ain't with Ububuntu
(as my next post will affirm).
