As Garry pointed out, I was wrong about the video card in use on the
Sunblade 100, but it doesn't matter; none of our machines appear to
support 32-bit pixmaps. So we have to wait for Sun to come up with a
usable Render extension before any machines will be able to take
advantage of it.

I've verified that the server properly doesn't advertise the Render
extension on my Sunblade 100 with this patch. (The relevant file is
/usr/openwin/server/modules/SUNWRender.so.1.) miki, please put those
three patches into the os and install volumes when you get a chance.
