I sometimes get the "low-graphics mode" message when starting an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine inside of VirtualBox (current development code trunk, somewhere past version 5.1 beta 3 and a debug build). When I switch to VT-7 I find the X server running without any visible issues (I am the upstream developer of the guest graphics drivers, so I have a reasonable but not infallible understanding of the X server).
The virtual machine has Guest Additions installed, same vintage and also a debug build. Two screens are enabled as is 3D acceleration. The host system is also Ubuntu 16.04. I am still trying to work out what triggers the message, but in my last attempts a cold boot failed to produce it, while a clean reboot did, but only when the host system was not under load (under load as in building VirtualBox).
Searching the lightdm log files led me to the message "CRITICAL **: session_get_login1_session_id: assertion 'session != NULL' failed", which in turn led me to this similar-looking Debian bug:
