   RE: Sun 3 X11R3 driver
   The Purdue speed ups were applied here, and the result was that it ran faster
   on the color, but the monochrome was broken - writes to the screen bitmap
   seem to be shifted left by random amounts (a few pixels). So text is almost
   unreadable, and moving a cursor over something changes the image. Has anyone
   else seen this effect?

Yes, we have.  (Also, and probably unrelated, moving the cursor off
the edge of the color screen does NOT jump to a separate monochrome
screen, which I am under the impression it should.)
