On further thought: I have noticed that on some older chipsets, such as
the neomagic one in the Vaio, and on a i810 I have in an older Dell, the
machine doesn't quite work properly unless I manually edit the xorg.conf
file to include XaaNoPixMapCache.  (And in the neomagic case, I need to
use SWCursor as well.)  There are a few other flaky things I see during
the install, such as bars across the start menu when I call it up.
These persist right after the install, but I have fixed them in the past
by adding these flags to xorg.conf after the install.

I don't know if this could have anything to do with the map problem, but
there's some chance it's related.  Of course, there's no way to edit the
xorg.conf file when it's on the CDROM, so I don't know exactly how to
test this theory.  Is there some way to make an ISO I could burn with a
different xorg.conf?
