Description 
Ultra 10, Solaris 9. Elite 3D, when remote displaying Mozilla 1.4.3 or Evolution 1.4.5 (3rd pty) from RedHat Linux (intel system) to Ultra 10, the colours red and blue are swapped i.e. blue is red, red is blue.

Removing XRender extention from OWconfig fix the issue

 edited /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig and removed:

class="XEXTENSION" name="RENDER"
    sharedObject="SUNWRender.so.1"
    initFunc="RenderExtensionInit"
    preLoad="YES"
    unload="NO";

b)     restarted the Xserver.
     xdpyinfo
     no longer shows the RENDER extension.

and colours are now being shown correctly

To reproduce it, install latest Sol 9 version + Xsun + Elite 3d + XRender patch

see attached showrev-p
