While searching through mailing lists, I have found a changelog that says "sunleo and suncg14 now correctly set bpp." This was after the 4.1.0 release, which is what I tried. So, I checked out the latest version of XFree86 from CVS, and am presently building it on a sparc20/cg14 system running solaris 8. We'll see how it goes.
The Xsun* servers are all that built when I tried 4.1.0. I don't know if the suncg14 driver is part of Xsun, or if I have to "cheat", as you said, to get the regular loadable driver X server to build.
