OK, this seems to be an issue with /usr/share/apps/guidance/pcitable not having proper data about my card (ATI FireGL V5000 PCI Express).

Workaround (may also work for other cards):

1. run "lspci" - find your graphic card and remember PCI address (first group of number)
$ lspci | grep VGA
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X700 (PCIE)

2. run "lspci -d" and search for same PCI address and get product identification numbers (last two number separated by : )
$ lspci -n | grep 0000:01:00.0
0000:01:00.0 0300: 1002:5653

3. Edit /usr/share/apps/guidance/pcitable and find your card (search for line with 1002 and 5653)

for my card, I had to change:
0x1002 0x5653 "unknown" "ATI Technologies Inc.|Radeon Mobility X700 (PCIE)"

to something like this:
0x1002 0x5653 "Card:ATI Radeon (fglrx)" "ATI Technologies Inc.|Radeon Mobility X700 (PCIE)"

Please report to this bug if you succeeded and which card to you have (with the two identification numbers).
