small bug in the current 20-video-quirk-pm-acer.fdi

I have here an Acer TravelMate 230 laptop which after an update to
Fedora 8 was giving me a grief with suspend (although it used
to work with Fedora 6, for example). Therefore I was quite
pleased to find that in a recent fdi file, here:
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal-info.git;a=blob;f=fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-acer.fdi
an entry for this laptop did show up.
There is a catch. After loading this file and restarting hal
'lshal | grep quirk' came out empty. It turns out that in the
corresponding "match" there is the following:
prefix_outof="TravelMate 630;TravelMate 230 "
while 'lshal | grep system.hardware.product' prints:
system.hardware.product = 'TravelMate 230' (string)
without that spurious blank after '230'. With this space removed
and hal restarted again grepping for quirks gave me now
power_management.quirk.s3_bios = true (bool)
power_management.quirk.s3_mode = true (bool)
and the laptop started again to suspend and hibernate like it
used in the past (it required for this 'acpi_sleep=s3_bios'
boot option but that was it).
I see in that fdi file another line with such blank; namely this one:
<match key="system.hardware.product" contains_outof="1640;3100;5500Z ">
Most likely this is a bug too. No idea about non-Acer fdi files.
Thanks,
Michal
