Anaconda doesn't really "configure" X before running it, it just relies
on X's autoconfiguration logic to Do The Right Thing. I'm hoping you
don't really mean MCA to mean Micro Channel Architecture there, one I
didn't think anybody besides IBM was foolish enough to use that and two
Fedora's X hasn't supported buses older than PCI for a couple of
releases now.
Whatever problem you're having with graphics at install time, you will
almost certainly also have after installed; it's usually easier to debug
by going ahead and installing in text mode and then debugging graphics
once installed.
I think the system he's referring to is this one:
