Not sure at this point), but the initial commit was to head at r305894, and finally merged to 11.0 (by way of stable/11) in r305904 if you're curious. Regarding the framebuffer colors, I believe that's a known issue. I know I've run into it. It may be video card specific (ATI vs NVidia), but I'm not sure. - Justin
