This has nothing to do with the sata hard disk , might be a video card drive(module) issue. Try a newer version of ubuntu 9.10 is out. It could also just be configuration settings with X, think of it as the gui manager for ubuntu. Just try 9.10 first

^Agreed. Try 9.10 or try the latest Fedora or OpenSUSE distro. Imo, Ubuntu is over hyped.

Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/
OpenSUSE: http://www.opensuse.org/en/

Note: Grab the Live CD, NOT the full installation to see if it works.
