Some colleagues of mine have seen this problem as well with 2.4.7 on a
SunBlade under Solaris 8.  Their solution was to upgrade the frame buffer
(PGX) to one that supports 3-D graphics.  If your Blade has a PGX (aka m64),
and if you run

    fbconfig -prconf

as root and _don't_ get

    Type: double-buffered FFB2+ with Z-buffer

then you're hitting the same problem they did.  My guess is it's a bug with
Solaris 8's PGX 2-D device driver.  From bug #958's text, it appears to have
been fixed by Solaris 9.  Hope this helps.
