Public bug reported:
I use an external monitor connected to my Dell XPS L502x laptop via the
Mini DisplayPort. 99% of the time this results in:-
The System is running in low-graphics mode
This Error is appearing at boot-up before login screen I then get a set
of options to select such as reconfigure, troubleshoot etc but I have no
cursor or keyboard control to select them.
If I restart the laptop the same error appears until I disconnect the
Mini DisplayPort cable and reconnecting again at the login screen, this
happens virtually every time with the cable connected. Had no problems
with this bug when using Ubuntu 12.04
