I'm not sure how often the anaconda stage2 images are built, which is
where it gets the X drivers.  I'm sure Jeremy's told me at some point
though.

The vesa and radeonhd drivers should both be working with rawhide
though.  If you go ahead with a text-mode install, you should get the
abortive X logs in the installed system under /var/log/anaconda, I
believe; it would be enlightening to see them.
