Yep. All it did was rewrite the Ubuntu default xorg.conf, with dummies 
for all the values (AFAIK this implies "use real-time detection" to the 
X client).

Not from here :-) I had to boot into the Windows partition to get my 
mail (eeeeek, horrible experience :-) I'll reboot in a while...

None of those, from memory.

If Murphy's in the UK is pressurised and delivered like Guinness in the 
UK, then the UK taps don't have a low-pressure and high-pressure 
position, so this behaviour may be acceptable. Still shouldn't be poured 
like lager though; it should be left stand halfway for about 30 secs.
