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.
