I found the following workarounds: During grub boot (or in /boot/grub/menu.lst) edit the kernel options to include nosplash nomodeset There is still an error during X startup but now the "Exit to console login" works (consoles are no longer all black). Also after exiting to the console, sometime later an X server with kdm successfully starts on virtual console 8! (I have never before had an X server run on VC 8).
Once you can get to a working console login you can sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm For me this allowed X to start normally on VC7 without any errors. (I guess you have to be sure that gdm is installed before this will work :-). -- 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-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
