Hi My monitor died this morning, a 19 inch Eizo I replaced it with a spare 14inch and without running Sax the screen appeared OK. this evening I decided to set it up correctly, however when I run Sax I get message Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/�<-- HERE so505/ at /usr/X1 I cannot set it up by Yast either. I wish to repace it by a 15 in TFT and think I may have problems Has anybody any ideas please. O/S Suse 9.1 Pro
Regards Nick Daniels

Just a random thought, but has something happened to the XF86Config file that is causing Sax to die as it attempts to parse the current config ?
Maybe you hand edited it or maybe an installation script for some graphics hardware has done something silly.
You chopped of part of the error so I can't see the path of the file that contains the regex causing the problem, what did it say ?

Hi Wayne Sorry for that, full Sax message is: SaX: initializing please wait... Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/�<-- HERE so505/ at /usr/X1 1R6/lib/sax/modules/detect/Monitor.pm line 365. I have not edited sax by hand, I was surprised when the 14" monitor came up configured, Suse usually goes to Yast When I go to Yast/Graphics card and monitor and click on Change or Reprobe nothing happens either so I am not to keen on putting a new monitor When I shut down KDE there is a brief appearance of the Gnome Desktop not sure if it is connected, never had it on any other Suse distro. Many Thanks Nick Daniels Many

Hmm looking at Monitor.pm that is right in the middle of the bit that processes the monitor name from the DCC information it gets from the data pins on the monitor. Not quite sure what is causing it to break but I am guessing that the problem is specific to that Monitor.
The bit just before strips out unusual characters, but I am guessing that it is missing one and this in turn is breaking the Reg Ex that is trying to process the Monitor ID.
