I too suffered from this issue after the xorg updates in question. My Toshiba Satellite M45-S265 laptop uses an Intel 915GM graphics card. I also stopped experiencing this issue when switching to GDM. I reverted back to the older xorg package versions as mentioned above, which got rid of the issue. I can now use KDM with no errors.
Prior to this, the only way I could still login with KDM was to hit "ESC" when the Kubuntu splash screen appeared, then hit CTRL+C repeatedly after the bootup steps started appearing onscreen. -- 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
