Upgraded a Dell laptop Ubuntu 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10. The last upgrade introduced a problem: upon boot there is a popup (of which only the top is visible, the rest is below the bottom edge of the screen) telling me "Ubuntu running in low-graphics mode". Upon ^C I get a console prompt, and "startx" correctly starts X. The problem reappears upon reboot. Commenting out the last line in /etc/init/failsafe-x.conf avoids the popup. (Now no X is started at all, but I am happy with that and can start X with "startx" when desired.)
-- Since failsafe-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used.
