Binary package hint: xorg

OS: 8.10

With undetected monitor, an error dialog is opened telling ubuntu is running in low-resolution mode besides this:

(EE) MGA(0): Static buffer allocation failed, not initializing the DRI
(EE) MGA(0): Need at least 9216 kB video memory at this resolution, bit depth

It happens even if you have defined monitor properties in xorg.conf. Whereas when you boot with a detected monitor and empty xorg.conf, 1024x768 mode works fine an no error dialog is displayed. However, Xorg.0.log contains the previously mentioned two lines even then; please see the attachment.
