Upgraded a Dell laptop Ubuntu 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10. The last
upgrade introduced a problem: upon boot there is a popup (of which only
the top is visible, the rest is below the bottom edge of the screen)
telling me "Ubuntu running in low-graphics mode". Upon ^C I get a
console prompt, and "startx" correctly starts X. The problem reappears
upon reboot. Commenting out the last line in /etc/init/failsafe-x.conf
avoids the popup. (Now no X is started at all, but I am happy with that
and can start X with "startx" when desired.)

-- 
Since failsafe-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used. (low graphics mode error)
