Bug Description
zesty can't get to the login screen when a Geforce GT210 card is installed
I just get an unclickable dialog "The system is running in low-graphics mode" and stuck.
Although if I VT switch and log in by SSH I find mir-demos all run nicely. So this is just a problem with Xorg/lightdm.

Actually IIRC the exact same error happened last time I plugged in a radeon card too.
