Summary|Dell Optiplex GX260: choosing VESA on first |vesa: VT switching --> black screen (Dell
|install screen leads to failed install |Optiplex GX260: intel 845G)

Ok. I can reproduce the problem. What happens is that the installer switches to
text console before starting a test Xserver (for gathering some important
informations) with the native driver in place (intel in this case).
Unfortunately when switching back to vesa X driver console you only get a black
screen, which is what you've seen. At least switching back to text console
works.
So VT switching with vesa driver is just broken.
