I have those working on Breezy, but I did it by installing Frefox 32 +
Flash in a chroot environment. I can help you get that set up at the
clinic. However, you might want to moving to Dapper, which I am about
to do. From reading the Ubuntu user forums it appears that it may be
possible to get these working in Dapper without a chroot envirnoment.

There are monitors at Free Geek that you can borrow. However, I don't
know what resolution they support. I have never even seen one at Free
Geek in operation, so I can't even guess what they will run. I would
definitely recommend bringing the rest, at least. Mouse and keyboard
are not hard to truck around, so it's worth the trouble of hauling them
to Free Geek so as not to run into problems. Waerst thou me I would
bring the monitor as well.
