VNC as with ssh is intended for headless machines with no monitor and
with no graphic adapter (for example s390). X11 automatic configuration
does some probing and when using VNC this might fail, the reason why it
is disabled in VNC installations. It might work on some machines but it
will fail on other..

What you can do is execute 'sax2 -a'  which will do automatic X11
configuration at the end of the installation.
