[PATCH/RHEL6-Branch] RHEL6 Basic Video Driver Install to Windows2012 VM Fails (#1083586)

Installing RHEL on a windows 2012 Hypervisor using the
basic video driver causes a boot failure and x-server
crash. The issue pertains to anaconda forcing a set
to vesa after the X-server has already arranged the
fallback drivers so that fbdev loads before vesa. Patch
