Hi, I had a similar problem on a fresh 8.10 install. PC is a Lenovo laptop (R61).
I have installed the restricted drivers for the NVidia graphics card (version 177). When I select logout, the screen goes black for 4 minutes, finally, the X downgrades to a lower resolution and displays this message: "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card, and input device setting could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself." Then, I selected to view (archive) the proglem. It saved it to /var/log/failsafeX-backup-081108114801.tar (attached). After other warnings, I was brought back to the desktop (low resolution, with screen broken in half and got this message: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Edit your X configuration file (just run 'nvidia-xconfig' as root) and restart..." I did just that, but the problem remains.
