The first one may have been sorted out by this point though.

F.lux is unusable on my work external LCD (junk panel), since I have the brightness/contrast/gamma turned way down in the display driver panel. I don't see any option to tweak this in f.lux unfortunately. I'll have to try it on my home LCDs, though.
