Why does --depth and --resolution doesn't work on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 kickstart?

Solution Unverified - Updated 2016-03-09T16:35:59+00:00 -

Issue

Trying to build a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 workstation using a kickstart profile.
During installation anaconda doesn't seem to accept the --depth , --resolution and monitor kickstart parameters.
The kickstart file contains the following two problematic lines.

xconfig  --defaultdesktop=GNOME --depth=24 --resolution=1280x1024 --startxonboot
monitor --monitor="ViewSonic VP201b"

Are these parameters removed from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 kickstart process?

Environment
