No, but then there's a lot of smart phones/mids/media players moving
to the 800x480 res screens with 1Ghz+ processors now and while I see
other alternatives rather than doing a traditional install on these
sort of devices (liveinst from a livecd? dd of an image directly?
something else I've missed entirely) I wouldn't rule out a massive
amount of devices running at that res. I have a O2 Joggler which is a
800x480 touch screen atom based device with a EFI BIOS so can easily
run Fedora. While that res has (thankfully) disappeared from netbooks
its certainly not about to disappear any time soon.
