I don't know if this is the solution to your problem but we had a simular
problem when we brought X11R3 up on our Sun 4's. It seems that Xsun has a 
predefined order that it searches for an 'installed' frame buffer. In our case
it found /dev/fb (b&w) before cgfour0. Starting up xinit as follows 
solved the problem:

xinit -- Xsun -dev /dev/cgfour0

if on the other hand, you've tried that... never mind
