Andreas Scheucher, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Thank you for your understanding.

They cicle through and the screen disapears to become black with a non blinking cursor in the top left corner. here it stops and nothing happens. when I press CTRL-ALT-DEL, an window appers, which tells me: The system is running in low-graphics mode Your screen, graphics car and input device settings could not be detected correctly.
