Hey there,
sorry for posting it here but http://stereopsis.com/flux/ doesn't provide any information on where to get help / send bugs to etc.

At first I thought it's just the gui's buggy preview button but it seems xflux doesn't start at all for me:
This is what I get when starting it:

simon@philosoph:~$ xflux -l 49.25 -g 8.42 -k 4000
--------
Welcome to xflux (f.lux for X)
This will only work if you're running X on console.

Sorry, we only support 24/32-bit displays right now.
XF86VidModeGetGammaRampSize returned 2048 entries.

However, the display definitely runs on 24 bit (as set in the Nvidia X server settings dialogue).
I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 x64 with an Nvidia Quadro FX 880M graphics card.
