Overiding the default xorg config on the installer?

Ok, is it possible to overide the default xorg config that the net
installer generates? Or prehapes to create a script that runs
Xautoconfig? If it is possible, it might be able to fix the problem
that users with gforce2 mx cards are having. It's looking like anyone
with that card is getting this error:

"Running anaconda, [...]
Probing for video card:   NVIDIA GeForce 2MX (generic)
Probing for monitor type:   Unknown monitor
Probing for mouse type:   Generic - 3 Button Mouse (PS/2)
Attempting to start frame buffer X server
Waiting for X server to start...log located in /tmp/X.log
1...2...3..[..] X server started successfully.
mini-wm: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :1.0"

Another option would be to caniblize the graphical installer for
yellowdog linux, as that version works on those cards. Anyone have any
thoughts?
