Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xConfigDialog.py", line 397, in __init__
    key, value = string.split(card.driver, ":")
ValueError: unpack list of wrong size

Executing the command results in this error (gui and text-console).
Anaconda (install) works - finds the right card (ATI Radeon 9000 Pro) right
Monitor (Eizo L461) but choses wrong res (1024x768 instead of 1280x1024).

  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xConfigDialog.py", line 397, in __init__

ValueError: unpack list of wrong size
