yep. Had exactly the same issue myself. I've no idea how to fix it in 
the installer, though.

Option     "SWCursor" "On"

needs to be added to the Device section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file

don't have one?

okay, as root:

X -configure :1

you'll get /root/xorg.conf.new, which you can edit & copy into place in 
/etc/X11
