Summary:
I am trying to get layer backing to work with OpenGL on Lion. I just filed 9948466 which is related.
As a work around, instead of layer backed views, I went to CAOpenGLLayer hoping it would work better. While this doesn't freeze my system, I only get garbage rendered in my views.


Steps to Reproduce:
Attached is my modified example. Build and run it and you will see garbage.

Expected Results:
Should look like the original example.

Actual Results:
Garbage


Notes:
It is possible I didn't port the example correctly. It is also quick and dirty. 
If the example is not ported correctly, I would appreciate any guidance on what's wrong.  A new developer example showing CAOpenGLLayer with the modern OpenGL engine would be nice.

Forgot to mention, I'm seeing OpenGL errors when I switch to CALayers/layer backed, e.g.

I've been injecting more glGetError()'s into the code which has led me to start calling glCheckFramebufferStatus(). In several places, such as glClear() around line 260, and I'm getting GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNDEFINED. My current speculation is the default FBO=0 is failing for CAOpenGLLayer.

According to the sample code:
	// Init our renderer.  Use 0 for the defaultFBO which is appropriate for MacOS (but not iOS)
	_renderer = [[OpenGLRenderer alloc] initWithDefaultFBO:0];


But maybe this is a bug with layer backed views and CAOpenGLLayer?

I would appreciate feedback if this seems right. Also, I would really like to know what the fix/workaround for this is. I really need to get CALayer's going because I need to superimpose other widgets on my OpenGL layer/view.
