I am getting the same message. My system is an IBM Thinkpad R50e with an Intel 855GM chipset. I have tried to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot. I get a longer /var/log/Xorg.0.log (attached) but the same message is included. I also noticed that it says no devices detected.
This has been the case since Lucid. I recently upgrade to Maverick RC hoping that it had been fixed. I had no issues prior to Lucid for several releases. Here is the content of xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "vesa" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" DefaultDepth 32 Subsection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 32 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection and the content of xorg.conf.failsafe which works Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "fbdev" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" EndSection I have also noticed that opening Google Earth it reports that the system is running in OpenGL and is using software emulation.
