Well to answer myself the graphical installer freezes in just the same way 
(for both i386 and x86_64), with the setup currently in 40rolling.  I'm 
still not sure if that means that the issue is not yet fixed by TUV or if 
there is some issue with this version of the installer still using the 
older X stuff...

Is there some (secret, undocumented) option to pass to anaconda to tell it 
to use a different X driver than it finds by probing during install (e.g. 
the vesa one which I think will work).  After install I can easily fiddle 
the X config but I can't spot how to do that during the install itself 
(the kickstart X config option doesn't affect what is used during install 
does it?)
