maybe.
What point in the install are you up to?
The base installation should complete without asking anything about your
video cards.
Then when you set up X, you should just be able to select your card from
a list of those supported. Alternatively wander to www.xfree86.org and
find out what driver your card uses and just use that one.
(to install X just install something like xterm, which depends on
everything else, then run XF86Setup (under potato that is).)
