Did a new install on friday with an i7-3570K, onboard graphics and crucial M4 ssd.
Was able to boot into ubuntu fine over the weekend, though suddenly today I get the same "Low graphics mode" problem. None of the fixes in the window that pops up work, so I have to drop down to console and manually `startx`.

Adding `service lightdm start` to `/etc/rc.local` "fixes" the problem for the time being, though isn't really ideal. It seems this bug might be related to #873495 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/873495) ?

I've attached my X logs. Xorg.0.* is when X fails to start, and I think Xorg.1.* is from when X starts after running startx from console
