fitoschido, Atom systems are using the poulsbo driver, which can end up
with this same error but for an entirely different, unrelated reason.

Looking at the jockey log, this does appear to be a jockey-specific
issue, probably something with the nvidia kernel module failing to
build, but nvidia in xorg.conf causing the system to not try anything
but nouveau.  The xorg.conf should be more or less unnecessary these
days so deleting just that *might* be a sufficient work around.  But
clean reinstall is not a bad idea either.

** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => jockey (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Error "ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" directly after
  installation

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop on my Dell XPS 1330 (Nvidia 8400M
  GS). The Live CD session works great and installation was no problem.
  But after the first reboot I get the error message: "ubuntu is running
  in low-graphics mode".

  On the terminal I tried to install manually:
  nvidia-173 nvidia-173-updates
  or
  nvidia-current nvidia-current-updates

  But non of the two packages resolves my problem. So i tried to install the nvidia driver with "jockey-text".
  $ jockey-text -c
  $ jockey-text -u
  $ jockey-text -a
  $ jockey-text -C
  Additional Drivers
  Downloading and installing driver...

  Sorry, installation of this driver failed.

  Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log
  $

  
  For me it's not important to install the proprietary Nvidia driver. I just would like to use the system. If possible with the nouveau or with the nvidia driver
