This is related to the XDrawStipple problems that have been
noted several times already with the ifb cards. The reason you're
getting yellow now (as opposed to black) is that we changed the default
visual for the cards from 8 bit to 24 bit.
The problem isn't fixed by the most recent Xsun or ifb driver;
we've decided to consider it non critical for now, but I'll be pursuing
it as time permits. We probably need to open a bug report as Sun.
