Bug#308823: xserver-xfree86: [debconf] vertical refresh range question doesn't allow for discrete values
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1
Severity: normal
The vertical refresh range question says:
"Please enter either a comma-separated list of discrete values (for
fixed-frequency displays), or a pair of values separated by a dash
(all modern CRT's). This information should be available in your
monitor's manual. Values lower than 50 or higher than 160 are extremely rare.
Enter your monitor's vertical refresh range."
But if I enter "60, 75" "60 , 75" or "60,75" (valid values for my
monitor) I get the error text that says:
"Please enter a comma-separated list of ranges or values.
The valid syntax is a comma-separated list of discrete values, or a pair
of values separated by a dash."
