[colug-432] Supported Video CentOS 6 #2

[Rick Hornsby]

This is intentional, and doesn't mean anything is wrong. The installer is running a low resolution mode for maximum compatibility w/ the most hardware to avoid crashing the system during the install and b/c high res isn't needed.

It is probably just loading the vga driver. Windows is the same way.
