sorry it took so long. I had to change my xorg.conf back to nv from nouveau so that I could boot my machine.

if your problem is simply that X flat out doesn't work with the nouveau driver at present on your card, that'd certainly explain why installation doesn't work, because installation uses X just the same way as a regular running system does, so it'll be trying to use nouveau. if you use the kernel parameter 'xdriver=vesa' when running the installer, does that workaround the problem?
