Hi.
Not all SPARC graphics boards support Xrender (or
XRandR/Xcomposite/Xdamage) on Xsun. Actually, very few of them support
these X extensions.
To determine whether or not Xrender is supported by your graphics
board, you can do
>% xdpyinfo
in an xterm on your workstation, with $DISPLAY set to 0:0, capture the
output to a temporary file and look for the XRENDER extension in the
output. If it can't be found, it's not supported by your graphics
board.
