Happened to me too. Apparently anaconda tries to use Xtest from the newly installed system even if it is not there.
Workaround is to install redhat-config-xfree86 if you're going to test X
In my second attempt at install I did select all of the redhat-config-XYZ packages, but when I got to the last step and tried the x test, anaconda still crashed with the same message.
Perhaps this information can be util: I was trying to test X configuration for a RIVA TNT2 with a 30-60 vert / 50-120 horiz monitor while I got the same error. After reboot I manually change XF86Config and from X I run Xtest with no crashes.
This functionality is being moved from anaconda into the first boot environment.
