Why install desktop anything if you're going to run it headless?

Do a server (or minimal) install, and you can install whatever packages 
you want on top of that.  apt will automagically sort out the 
dependencies.

Granted if the display adapter is shot you'll still probably be all 
screwed up in the text consoles, so you might want to consider picking 
up an old cheap grafix card off of craigslist or whatever...
