Ubuntu

If your using the latest version (9.04) then it was just released a few weeks ago and a few driver issues are to be expected. As for the logs its pretty limited by default to keep systems with limited resources from filling up unexpectedly. Keep in mind ubuntu desktop is aimed at more novice users who likely don't even know a log file exists.  More advanced distros will log more by default. 

Really if you don't want to deal with some bugs, then you should not upgrade to the latest version, 8.04 is an lts so would be a good option if 9.04 doesn't work for you . They are pretty stable considering the 6mo release schedule but you will find bugs. 

And finally are you really considering giving up ubuntu for a test version of debian freebsd because of a driver bug?

It is probably me, since I am a little burnt from working 14+ hours
per day, but Ubuntu is beginning to tax my nervous system.  Last week
I was getting an error message so I went to look at my boot record
only to find that Ubuntu doesn't log the boot record.  Today I went to
use my USB headphones only to find that the latest version of Ubuntu
that I am using doesn't recognize my usb headset when it is hot
plugged.  The older version of Ubuntu that is on my laptop does
recognize the headset when I plug it in.  I would tell you the version
of Ubuntu that I am using only I do not know how to determine what
version I am using.  If I remember correctly it use to be easy to
determine the version of OS you are using.  I am getting ready to head
on back to Debian. Maybe I'll wait until the testing release of Debian
FreeBSD is out.
