Here's how I got my system running for the record.
* Booted the live CD in safe graphics mode (F4 at the boot screen I think?), 
and ran the installer from there. The alternative (text-mode) installer would 
presumably also worked.
* Booted my new install in recovery mode, and went to a console.
* Edited my /etc/X/xorg.conf and inside Screen "default" there's a line which 
says something like Driver "nv" or "nvidia" or some such ... I changed this to 
"vesa"
* Now X would work, although it looked pretty bad
* Then Jockey told me proprietary drivers are available, and installed the 
proprietory driver.
* Now everything works fine

Hope this helps!
