Not just Ubuntu. Practically any distro.

Yeah, but the Gnome version of Ubuntu has the hwdb-client package thatlets you submit your hardware details to a database after running some
tests on each component that you answer to say whether it worked or not.
If (like me) you're using KUbuntu you can do:
$ sudo apt-get install hwdb-client
$ hwdb-gui
To contribute to the database.

Although I've just noticed that whilst sound works fine in KDE it doesn'twork in the hwdb-gui app.
Yes, I have disabled arts (the KDE sound server)..
