you could try installing in text mode, and then adjusting your X configuration after the install...

also, maybe there's some kinda boot parameter you could try when starting the install, like vga=normal or something...

just my two cents...

to install Fedora in text mode; at the boot prompt type in 'linux text'.

when youre installing, there should be an option in the "pick your monitor" section for a generic laptop display or generic LCD display [or something similar]. thats probably what you want to pick. it will probably have a number of resolutions to pick from. find out what your maximum monitor resolution [i.e. 1024x768] is and pick that.
