Ubuntu error message.

As a recent convert to Ubuntu I thought I'd sorted a problem with the screen resolution but after installing some updates today I had to restart and got an error message
Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode.
The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this.
(EE) FBDEV(0): EGA/VGA planes are not yet supported by the fbdev driver.
After choosing
Reconfigure graphics - Create new configuration for this hardware
I got the message
A new configuration has been generated and your old configuration backed up
Please restart
The screen then returns to a 1280x800 resolution and from recent experience will remain until I have to restart, when it will go back to 800x600 with the error message.
Can the settings be saved so that I don't have to keep re-configuring?

I would suggest you take the problem to Ubuntu forums. FBDEV tells me that you are starting up with the framebuffer driver, which is a default which will work on any graphics card almost. As you have already worked out, your configuration is not being saved. So are you missing a step to save it? Or is there a bug in the graphics setup program? If there is a bug, then Ubuntu forums would be the best place to go - IMO.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
