Bug Description

Seems to be a race condition between ligthdm and nvidia driver.

Sometimes boot is ok,
Sometimes lightdm pop the "running in low graphic mode" session.
none of the options works
but workaround is to switch to terminal, and restart lightdm
for the old style: $ sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
this restart solve the problem and login manager is running as usual.

I've try nividia-current, nvidia-currents-updates, nouveau, but always random "low graphic mode" occurs.
