I hit that issue too.
I also hit problems with the touchpad on an Acer laptop - freezing and jumping,
hopefully fixed by adding a proto= option to the psmouse module, at the expense
of edge scrolling.
Also it kernel panicked the first time I tried installing with Wubi and I had to
reboot and try again.
On the plus side it ran a bajillion times faster than Windows Vista. I have
benchmarks to prove it and everything[1].
