Kinda, perhaps.

This sounds to me as though you want to use the cgfour as if it were a
cgtwo - that is, you want to ignore the two one-bit planes (the
mis-called "monochrome" plane and the enable plane).  It even sounds as
though you have the X server persuaded to use the *other* bwtwo
instead.  But it also sounds as though the X server's cgfour support is
still flipping the enable plane when the cursor leaves the eight-bit
screen.

This can probably be fixed with a tiny tweak to the cgfour module in
the sun3 ddx layer - find the code that flips the enable plane, and
bash on it to ensure that it never changes anything when it's being rn
in an attempt to display the one-bit plane.  (Of course, the resulting
server won't be too useful on ordinary cgfours; to do this right would
mean a command-line option or something.)
