On the installer command line:

xdriver=vesa

If you've already installed, boot into runlevel 3 and edit xorg.conf.

And yeah, G80 LVDS is broken, even upstream.  I'm currently beating on
it, hopefully have a fix soon.  F7 is broken because the nv driver
attempts to claim all G80 devices as belonging to nv, which turned out
to be a mistake.
