That's basically it, yeah. There's no very simple way to specify clone
mode instead of spanned mode for X, X just doesn't provide a simple way
to do it. We'd have to create an xorg.conf file only to be used during
Anaconda, I think that'd be the simplest way to do it, and doing that
isn't terribly straightforward.
