I've just installed Ubuntu 13.10 through the installer on a Lenovo Thinkpad S540. I had no problems with the graphical installer.

However, after rebooting, X doesn't start. I just get a "The system is running in low graphics mode" error.

The graphics card is a "Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller".

I've tried updating from the X-swat PPA as per instructions here: http://askubuntu.com/a/218095/258364. Made no difference.

It also fails if I reboot in "failsafe" mode.

Any ideas on what I can try? Thanks.
