named_mode = isalpha(name[0]); might be more succinct (and covers
special characters).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this shouldn't ever happen. AFAICT, the
only way it could would be if we parsed bpp or refresh in the named
mode (since those are the only cases where we don't copy the whole
string over). Shouldn't that be invalid anyways?

Perhaps you can just avoid all of this code and just do a
strcpy/return when you first detect a named mode.
