the first issue has been fixed yesterday! The second one is void then.
Thanks to Roland Scheidegger I now get a perfect picture for all

There currently is only one known issue left: detection of inital field

Maybe then I find some time to port the patch to other platforms 
(like intel based graphics cards).
