Two small questions.  Not important, I'm just curious.

The Ubuntu web page for the alpha version seems to offer many things
but not what I'd expect.

There are Alpha 1 builds for Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu etc. - all the
official remixes, pretty much - but *not* for Ubuntu itself. That in
itself seemed odd.

Also, there's already a page up for Alpha 2 but again just the
remixes. (Yesterday, this seemed to be just a source disk image, no
binaries.)

I tried using a daily build instead, from here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

The result seems to work fine on casual inspection but uses X.org, not
Mir. Does it fall back to X if one's GPU is unsupported or something?
