Bug#335440: xserver-xorg: listed option breaks pre-inst configuration script
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7
Severity: important
"If there are some resolutions you would not like the X server to use even if
your hardware is capable of them, remove them from the list below. Removing all
of them is effectively the same as removing none, since in both cases the X
server will attempt to use the highest possible resolution.
1. 1920x1440 3. 1792x1344 5. 1600x1200 7. 1400x1050 9. 1200x800 11. 1024x768 13. 640x480
2. 1856x1392 4. 1680x1050 6. 1440x900 8. 1280x1024 10. 1152x864 12. 800x600 14. none of the above
(Enter the items you want to select, separated by spaces.)
Select the video modes you would like the X server to use."
Leaving this blank or selecting '14' breaks the configuration process with error:
expr: non-numeric argument
