I read the radeon(4x) manpage to get it, so haven't checked bugzilla.
The same problem occurs in the FC5 installer, which is annoying since
you lose a large amount of the screen. The Xorg setup doesn't put the
resolution into a Virtual X Y directive meaning it doesn't autoscroll.
Dropping to the text mode installer means losing LVM configuration.
