[Bug 494088] [NEW] Xorg startup error: (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Upon startup, the system displays the error "open /dev/fb0: No such file
or directory" and says it is running in low graphics mode. However the
graphics seem to be working fine, including compiz. This has started
happening since a recent update, since before it wasn't giving this
error.
