It does sound like we don't have the driver in the SXDE distro. But we support Nvidia generally. Could be we need a newer version of the driver. You can install with the text installer using the same media. Just choose the appropriate menu item when it boots. It has to be the non-windows based text installation.
I would try the text based installation, install the driver via the ITU method offered in the installer and then the install should proceed ok. > I have a brand new Sun Ultra 24 with Nvida Quadro FX 1700.
