My experiences with Xorg and Elite framebuffer suggest that if you don't
load the microcode for the Elite device, Xorg almost immediately
terminates with a Signal 11 (SIGSEGV).  I don't know if Debian makes the
microcode available or if you have to get it yourself directly, but I am
sure Debian provides the microcode loader.

However, your problem indicates that you can't load type1, kbd, or mouse
modules, all of which should be available.  Check the log to see if you
loaded any modules please (well, you must have loaded sunffb at least).
All of those should be in whatever directory the xorg modules are in.
On my system, for example, I see
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/mouse_drv.so
(and /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts/libtype1.so and so on).

But I am running Gentoo, not Debian, so your modules might be elsewhere,
or you might have an incomplete install.
