[Bug 491483] Re: Since failsafe-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used. (low graphics mode error)

[Kevin Christmas]

I had success with Philip's gdm patch!  "kdm[1064]: X server died during
startup" and "kdm[1064]: Failed to start X server. Starting failsafe X
server." are not to be found in the syslog.

PLEASE refactor this "upstart sprawl."  This was a very painful bug for
me.  As an Intel IGP owner, I wasn't even given a terminal to fall back
to.  It would be a shame if this bug reared its head again.

I have fixed packages queued in my ppa for anyone that doesn't want to
build gdm on their own (or wait for the official update).
