I had this happen on an F9 system with two monitors running off a single
NVidia card. I took it to mean that the tool didn't cope with one card,
two monitors, and had made a structure for each monitor, and the second
structure had not had its card/device field initialised.

No idea, sorry. I gave up on system-config-display, flailed with "X
-configure" and an example config I found on the web.

What sort of setup are you trying to get going?
