I work at a shop that has several computers that get the "low graphics mode" error. What causes this and how do i fix it?
I had that once. The graphics card was overheating.
it can be due to a driver conflict or because you upgraded your kernel and need to reinstall the driver? Need more information. What version of ubuntu are you using? What is the graphics card be used and what driver are you using?
How do I find out that information?Quote:

to find out what graphics driver you can try this commandCode:lspci
also, you can copy and paste the entire contents of this file /var/log/Xorg.0.log at pastebin and then paste the link here (forums don't like it when you paste a ton of code directly so that's what pastebin is for)Code:cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
They are running 10.04 LTS.
lspci output:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
shop@shop-computer:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
cat: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory
shop@shop-computer:/etc/X11$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe | grep Driver
Returns Driver "fbdev"
