I got KDM back up with x11-common=1:7.4+3ubuntu10. Details below. Eli, I think it's related to this.
I have an Intel IGP. I managed to get the failsafe X11 up and running by changing the value for "Driver" from "vesa" to "intel" in the newly created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe. I believe that xorg.conf.failsafe was created when x11-common=1:7.4+3ubuntu10 was installed. Previously, not even the (not quite) bulletproof failsafe mode would come up, nor any terminals. I had to use a live cd to do anything. Painful. To get KDM back and running, I created a new xorg.conf file that contains only the following: Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "intel" EndSection -- 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
