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-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
