Bug Description

Just installed redshift on a machine running ubuntu lucid, old nvidia graphics card, nouveau driver, no compiz enabled (in case this matters). On running redshift from the command line, I get the error message

Gamma ramp size too small: 0
Failed to start adjustment method randr.
Trying other method...

Aftert that redshift sits there (runs?) until aborted with ctrl-c. What to do?

The error messages needs to be improved to indicate that a working adjustment method was found.
