Install fails with Xorg segfault on fc17

I happened to be reading some documentation and came across info on
starting a vncserver at boot time. It's documented here:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Installation_Guide/sn-remoteaccess-installation-vnclistener.html

However, it doesn't work. Turns out they didn't test it before
creating fc17, so it just doesn't work. This also segfaults. There are
a few open bugs. The solution is basically to use fc18 when it's
available. Pretty neat idea, though.

Turns out I was able to get it to install by choosing the second
option, Troubleshooting, then choosing "Use Basic VGA", which must
just load a basic VGA Xorg driver.

Thanks,
