RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Xorg.0.log from first boot of the installed system
The same thing happens on my system. I don't know how to access /tmp/X.log from the installation run, but am attaching an Xorg.0.log file from the first boot of my installed system. On that first boot, the display behaves identically to the installation run, with what appears to be the identical offset. Changing the display mode from 1440x900 @ 60Hz (the preferred mode) to any other available mode eliminates the problem. I assume that if the display mode could be changed during installation, this would correct the installation run problem as well.
The problem is not new to Fedora 15; I encountered the same situation with the Fedora 12 and 14 installation disks.
If I'm interpreting this page correctly, it appears that the original reporter has not responded to the request for information. Since I am very interested in resolving this bug, I would be happy to provide any additional information if requested. I have not attached a screenshot because the screenshot (obtained via the PrintScreen key) is normal. However, the display of that screen is displaced to the right so that the rightmost two inches falls off the monitor.
