I'm not sure if this the same bug I'm seeing, but it sounds similar. Using a Thinkpad T42p with ATI M10 NT/FireGL Mobility T2 chipset.
If I have xserver-xorg-video-vesa installed and "splash" set in kernel command line arguments then I will get the "Ubuntu is running in low- graphics mode" error message and be unable to continue further. Solution is either to remove xserver-xorg-video-vesa or to remove "splash" option from kernel command line arguments. I haven't tried installing gdm. -- after recent update which included xorg, xserver etc causes low-graphics mode error at start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
