Bug Description
Fresh install of 13.04 dev on this desktop machine with an Nvidia graphics.
Nouveau only shows the "system is running in low-graphics mode" dialog and doesn't allow reconfiguring.
Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)

Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/
(Nvidia-current drivers give a desktop but X crashes very often.)
12.04 worked just fine on this setup. So I consider this a regression.

Please file a separate bug about the nvidia crashes if you would like to debug those (there may not be much we can do aside from recommend trying nvidia-updates or nvidia- experimental- * drivers).
