My ASUS A53B is less than a year old. It has a Radeon HD6470M (512Mb) video card which came as standard.
Windows 7 is working fine. 11.10 Ubuntu was working fine.
12:04 wont run in any graphics mode.
When I upgraded to 12:04, all looked fine up to the restart and it then comes up with "The system is running in low-graphics mode". None of the options including recovery actually boot it into any graphics mode - I can only get to the terminal login.
The "Archive configuration and log files" yielded lightdm.log with these contents:

At this stage I should point out that the Windows install on the laptop (which I hardly ever use) is working fine.
How can I get my system back up and running (ideally in 12.04 rather than reinstalling 11.10)?
