Ubuntu 9.10 running in low-graphics mode
Cats: General|After the installation from update manager, and every time I boot up my machine, I get a error with three options out of which I am forced to click OK for “Run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode for just one session” option.
Resolution upon reference from url (http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1242813.html) for Ubuntu 9.10:
Take a backup and edit xorg.conf file:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_bkp
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Delete this Section Device:
Section “Device”
Identifier “Device0″
Driver “nvidia”
VendorName “NVIDIA Corporation”
BoardName “GeForce 8400M GS”
EndSection
And Edit the Section Screen as:
Section “Screen”
Identifier “Screen0″
Device “Device0″
Monitor “Monitor0″
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection “Display”
Depth 24
Modes “1440×990″
EndSubSection
EndSection
Here we go, no more low graphics mode issues.

The other solution is to simply re-install Nvidia drivers. Each time ubuntu gets updated and there is a change in Kernel version, you will have to re-install Nvidia driver to make it work. At least, thats what I used to do.

I have tried updating the drivers… But no vain ! It said already Nvidia drivers are updated on my machine. So, I have to settle down with this resolution. Hmm.. re-installation is also good idea.

HI.I’m kind of a newbie when it comes to computers stuff, but I got the same problem a few days ago when I ran the update manager. I found this forum, and followed the steps up to the editing of everything, when I noticed that I don’t have the same options.
Section “Screen”
Identifier “Default Screen”
Default Depth 24
EndSelection
Section “Module”"
Load “glx”
EndSection
Section “Device”
Identifier “Default Device”
Driver “nvidia”
Option “NoLogo” “True”
EndSection
Those are the options I got when I followed your directions in the terminal. Help please?

If you are still facing this issue, you can try re-installing the Nvidia drivers or though settings differ, take a back up of this file and try deleting the section Device and updating the section Screen.
