** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  My graphics has gone kaput on Karmic.
  
  Machine: IBM X40
  Graphics: Intel 82852/855GM Int. Graphics Device (rev 02)
  Docking station: X4 Ultrabase
  
  My machine has got stuck in low graphics mode after an error.
  
  Background
  -----------------
  
  The graphics have been working fine on Karmic with the exception of some
  issues relating to an external monitor and X40 docking-station. But this
  combo has led to a more serious problem.
  
  Usually, redocking with external screen on would cause the system to
  tell me there was a problem resolving the screen resolution. If I tried
  to reset it with the GUI screen resolution tool, it would tell me that
  software acceleration would be required. I would decline to do this,
  because such requests were not normal, and reset the machine instead.
  The graphics would be back to normal on reboot.
  
  The error-causing event
  ---------------------------------
  
  Instead of ignoring the prompt for software acceleration, as I usually
  do, I accepted it.
  
  The system then gave the following error:
  
  "Your screen, graphics card and input device settings could not be
  detected correctly. You will need to configure them yourself."
  
  Outcome
  -------------
  
  On reboot, the system says the graphics aren't working and I can only
  operate in low graphics mode.
  
  P.S.

  Bug reporting problem
  -------------------------------
  Now I have nearly completed my bug report, I see that it says under this window "
  
  "xorg (Ubuntu) guidelines:
  Please report bugs against xorg with this command:
  
    $ ubuntu-bug -p xorg
  
  For more tips on effective bug reporting against Ubuntu Xorg packages,
  please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting and thanks ahead of time!"
  
  I used the following command:
  
  $ ubuntu-bug xorg
  
  I shall go back and use the -p to file a report. But seeing as I've got
  this far with the one I was already doing, I'm going to send it in case
  this is the most effective option.
