Try shooting in some of the other modes where you have control over at least one option. Put it in Sv and bump up the ISO until the shutter speed is satisfactory. The K-X takes good pictures until 1600 or so (I believe, I have a K-7). The video issue sounds like a slow card. For video it you need at least a class 6.
Sorry, I missed this post.
By "Green mode" you mean Auto Pict? I'm color blind (green blind, actually) so I don't know if that's the color on the round indicating wheel for Auto Pict. Yes, I am almost sure it was on Auto Pict. I don't believe it was dim conditions, though. However I do believe it was indoors. It was decent lighting, however. It was suggested that the problems with he videos might have to do with codecs on my PCs, but I haven't investigated this yet.
My card is Class 10, but it's a cheap card, a PQI 150X 8GB that cost me less than $20.
