That's because you spent the extra dough in the ultrasharp monitor, with
its built-in hub. I'm afraid that's money well spent ... how I envy you.

This evening I've been trying with a cheapie hub, and Dapper worked just
fine, for quite a long time, with no problems. Then I upgraded it to
Edgy, and it also worked (though the upgrade botched the setup of the
nVidia drivers).

However, it is a pain in the ass to work that way, because the
initialisation of the hub by the BIOS is really unreliable, and seems to
work one time out of ten. Most of the times I am left with flickering
lights in the hub and no keyboard response until Linux starts and
initializes the USB hardware correctly -- or if not correctly, at least
a little better.

Maybe a better hub would do better -- Iago says above that the built in
hub of the Dell Ultrasharp monitor works well.
