** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  Using Ubuntu/Kubuntu 9.10 on Toshiba Laptop with ATI radeon HD 3650
  
  Today morning I did updated the system with updates available.
  
  Following is the recent log entry in the Software update module in KDE.
  
  Installed: ureadahead, ureadahead
  Updated: x11-common, sreadahead, xserver-xorg-video-all, xserver-xorg-input-all, xserver-xorg, xorg, x11-common, sreadahead, xserver-xorg-video-all, xserver-xorg-input-all, xserver-xorg, xorg
  
  After this update I get "Ubuntu running in low-graphics mode" error at
  the boot time and If I press cancel it boots me upto the normal login
  screen.
  
  How to get rid of the this error?
  
  Also I loose the com positioning (desktop effects), I need to manually
  resume the same. (ALT+SHIFT+F12).
  
  Please resolve urgently.
  
  Thanks, Manish
  
  Edit: check this post as well for various experience on this particular issue:

+ Edit: this is caused by failsave-x starting if kdm is used and gdm is disabed since gdm will fail with exit status !=0 and thus triggering failsave-x. So this affects all users that use kdm while having gdm installed as well and kdm starting slower than failsave-x (they both race to start X first).
+ To fix this make sure that failsave-x checks that gdm is enabled before assuming that X is broken.

-- 
Since failsave-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used
