I'm having the same problem but with regular Ubuntu 10.04 (amd64). The
low graphics dialog intermittently shows up, but doing a "sudo
/etc/init.d/gdm restart" from the console fixes it. When it fails, the
Xorg.0.log says that it can't find the nvidia driver in the kernel, but
somehow restarting gdm fixes it.
