If the 'ls' has been built from fileutils-3.4 with the color-ls patch,
it's either enabled or disabled (depending on the patch) by 'ls -f'.
There is a new version of fileutils, 3.5, and since '-f' is being used
by something else, the color-ls patch will have to use '-o'. I've
passed it around for a few people to test it, but if you want a copy,
send me email.
