At that point, it is actually running a version of OI, coming from the
USB image.

I have two systems with Sun keyboards running OI.  They are both USB
keyboards.  Something is wrong with your keyboard, though.  The log
file below indicates that.  Do you have a BIOS setting that says
something about a legacy keyboard?  You may have to change that.

According to the log file below, it is an NVIDIA card.  That should be
supported.  Normally you are better off not to specify the VESA
driver, but let Xorg figure it out.

I left the portion of the X11 server log file that shows the errors.

Mine is quite different.  Here's the keyboard portion:
