Hm.

Well, maybe its a SPARC IPC problem then? Especially since it's not
seen under the other SPARC's Chad mentioned above.

Do the SPARC IPC's have any kind of built in virtual desktop support
support (that makes it act like a really wide screen)? I know IBM X
Stations have this support built in, and XFree86 under Linux has
something similiar (which caused odd problems for someone else on this
list at one point). If it does, find out how to shut that feature off
and see if the problem goes away. If not, I don't have any other
ideas yet...
