My Console install of b109 is proceeding nicely at this very moment; 
without any keyboard lockups.

I did also get the same Xorg error as you. When I received it, I hit 
CTRL-C to interrupt the proceedings, received a root prompt after a 
broken pipe error, and was able to continue the install in text mode by 
entering "suninstall".

Regards... Sean.
