I found a workaround: after being dropped to the console login, I logged in, and stopped kdm: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop then I edited xorg.conf, and in the <Section "Device"> section, I added the line <Driver "vesa"> then I restarted kdm and x. That allowed me to boot into kde, and from there I was able to proceed normally with the installation of the system.
