the installer choses, or the resolution it chooses,
doesn't work for either of his monitors.

So... he can't read the subsequent screens
to finish the installation.

Does anyone have any workarounds to either:
  a) perform stage 2 of the install in text mode
  b) get stage 2 to use a lower screen resolution

TIA

linux xdriver=vesa
might do the trick. The person will have to reconfigure X to use the proper driver once the installation is done. There are also resolution=800x600 or something along those lines to force a particular resoution.
