Bug#1691: X config allows invalid numeric range
Package: x11/xbase
Version: 3.1.2-4
Problem Description:
The X configuration will allow a user to put in a
nonsensical string as a numeric range.
Expected behavior:
The config program should do a check to ensure that numeric ranges
are at least numeric ranges and within some reasonable set. This
would catch most of the typos.
Procedure to reproduce:
Change the VertRefresh to 2--50 in the X config file. This will
introduce a syntax error that causes the X server to fail.
Thank you,
