Use 'xdriver=vesa' in boot parameters or a text install. Follow up with a workaround described in the referenced report.
OK I got a graphical install for a Dell Dimension which has 82945G graphics by adding "xdriver=vesa nomodeset" to the kernel line for the install. (I used a grub stansa to start the install from the vmlinuz and initrd.img copied from the install iso. This allowed a hard drive install referenced to the stored iso on the HD on a partition that would not be touched during install.)
Once the install had completed I intercepted firstboot and added the same kernel line parameter during boot to complete the install. After that I used the "intel" driver with option "NoAccel" in xorg.conf as previously suggested by others - this gives the correct screen resolution but lousy graphics performance when for example dragging a window around.
The alternative is to use the vesa driver which gives fuzzy screen display but better graphics performance - so I prefer the slow screen and crisper display!
I wonder when there will be a properly working intel driver?
