[Retromingent <ray.rwalk2730@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use KDE and got the low-graphics mode error right after a batch of
updates today, 12/7/2009.  Full hardware configuration attached.  Also,
since getting the low-graphics mode error after reboot my KDE windows
have black backgrounds for all applications.  For example, Exaile,
Amarok, Chrome, Firefox, all have a dark black backgrounds rather than
the color scheme I chose in the appearance settings.  In fact, even when
I change the color and windowing decorator the black consistently
appears.  For instance, I can select Oxygen, or Plastik, or any
decorator and the black background consistently stays.  This does not
happen (low-graphics error message or black background) on gdm, only on
kdm.
