Thanks! I've been using the user supplied version for awhile and it 
seems to work great compared to the previous version that went out of 
range for both the installation attempts and for resolution "downshifting".

Adding this to extras will be fine. xdriver=vesa will be a popular 
posting on the Fedora List though for those trying to install. Then 
they'll have to update to the new driver, run s-c-display to get mga vs. 
vesa after install.
Users need to learn new gotcha items and recover from from them to make 
things interesting anyway.
