I beg to disagree :)
Running Xfree 4.0.2 on a SS20 SX +TGX (multihead, SuSE 7.1)
Unlike the Sun Xserver XFree86 puts the SX in 32 bit mode only
which makes it pretty slow, although bearable.
(Not noticably slower than Xsun on the SX in 24-bit mode)
And unlike XSun mabe gnome actually works! (seems to be a
problem in the Sun supplied SX driver for solaris 7/8 that makes
shared memory fail, even though you do the /etc/system trick)
