Hi,

If you edited the xorg.conf file yesterday then that would explain the 
'Low Graphics Mode' today!

Found this online that might help explain the features / options in 
xorg.conf!
http://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.7/doc/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.xhtml

MY ADVICE IS TO BACKUP xorg.conf BEFORE you play with it, so if you 
encounter any problems the next time X starts (usually at reboot or 
logout) you can rescue the situation by changing it back!!

Happy playing (it's the best way to learn)!
