SANE and OpenBSD ---------------- Building: --------- Don't forget to use GNU make (gmake). E.g. "MAKE=gmake ./configure". SANE should compile and install out-of-the-box. SCSI-scanners: -------------- SANE only supports the generic /dev/uk? devices. /dev/ss? won't work. If your scanner is detected by the ss driver, disable the driver with the "config" utility or compile a new kernel without ss. Set a link /dev/scanner to /dev/uk0 (or whatever you use) and/or edit your backend's config file appropriately. USB-scanners: ------------- USB-Scanners are supported in principle since OpenBSD 2.9. Only the USB scanner driver "uscanner" is supported. "ugen" won't work. To get your scanner detected by the uscanner driver, it may be necessary to add it's vendor and device ids to the kernel and recompile (sys/devs/usb/uscanner.c). With OpenBSD 3.0 there is also a bug concerning uscanner that prevents accessing the /dev/uscanner devices. Get a newer kernel in this case. If your MAKEDEV won't make /dev/uscanner0 do it manually: "mknod /dev/uscanner0 c 77 0" for the first scanner. Edit your backend's configuration file appropriately. Parport-scanners: ----------------- I don't have any information about these. Please contact me or the SANE mailing list if you succeded in using one of these. 2001-12-25 Henning Meier-Geinitz
