hi all i have searched trough a lot of bugs with problems "running in low graphics mode" in 9.10. I have upgraded kubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and get also this error.. and found, i hope for all others using kubuntu 9.10, a solution.
in /etc there is the "gmd" dir: /etc/gdm and in this dir is an empty file: failsafe but the default display manager is kdm: more /etc/X11/default-display-manager /usr/bin/kdm gdm isn't installed on my system.. so.. ..i renamed /etc/gdm to eg. /etc/gdm_save, rebooted more then once my system and voilĂ ... no problem with low graphics mode.. my system: lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
