I've used and loved Ubuntu on my existing desktop machine, so I'm trying to install Precise 12.04.2 on my new desktop machine -- brand new, never been touched, blank disk. I installed from USB stick, and the installation seemed to go fine, up to the point where I'm supposed to remove the USB stick and reboot.
Then I get this screen (please excuse the poor photograph):

"""
The system is running in low-graphics mode
Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.
"""
Problem is, it doesn't respond to any mouse actions or keyboard actions at all. I can't get past this screen. This is with the hardware in identical configuration as during the install -- I didn't touch a thing. But it is through a KVM switch, and I wondered if that was causing the problem, so I tried it without the KVM switch. No difference -- same result, even with the keyboard, video, and mouse plugged directly into the box.
I don't know what to try next. Suggestions?
