Not that I'm aware of, but Jeremy Katz would know for sure. I suspect
there is no such install time option though, as there are probably 50
to 100 different driver workaround options in various drivers throughout
X, as well as server options all intended to work around either hardware
or driver limitations of this nature. The anaconda development team
is probably not too keen on adding a bunch of driver workaround options
for things that are easily worked around either via kickstart or
by manual editing or shell scripting post install. In short... don't
hold your breath. ;o)
Ok I'll keep breathing :) After digging through some bug reports I found
the tip to use "linux vesa" at boot and that did work so it's not a
biggie.

I've been thinking about making some custom packaging to allow
multiple
versions of modular X to co-exist, to have one's cake and eat it too
so to speak... Not a major priority to me currently, but something
I might play with in wintertime or thereabouts...
That's an interesting concept. When/If the time comes I'll definitely
have a look. Thanks for all the information.
