Hi,

I just configured my SCSI adapter (old AVA1505 ISA card), to use my
scanner. Now sane-find-scanner does find it:

[root@Jupiter dev]# sane-find-scanner
# Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected
# to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal
# Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find scanners
# that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that
# is connected to a parallel or proprietary port.

sane-find-scanner: found SCSI scanner "AGFA SNAPSCAN 1236 1.20" at
device /dev/sg1
[root@Jupiter dev]# ll /dev/sg1
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           36 Jan 21 18:01 /dev/sg1 ->
scsi/host1/bus0/target2/lun0/generic

But when running scanimage or xsane, it says it can't find a scanner,
and I should make sure the scanner is detected by sane-find-scanner.
Could this be a devfs problem, or something wrong with sane? Are there
others who can use their scanner?

libsane1-1.0.6-2mdk
devfsd-1.3.20-1mdk

Frederik
