Is this a bug in XFree86 or in Red Hat? These options are handled differently from those standard sync range lines. Currently these strings are simply read by sscanf(s, "%f-%f", ...) which won't return correct results if there are spaces inside the strings. A bit of string parsing here should get these options more tolerant. > Also, the laptop's backlight is on even though the cover is closed; is this a known bug as well? A patch has been submitted for some related problems, not sure if it can solve your problem. If you want to try, I can send it to you off the list (there are many other things, too big to post here).
