Greg. I dont know if they want to pay for it. But I don't think they intend to<br>
|
|||
|
|
release their source code. They are being real pricks. I wrote to them and told<br>
|
|||
|
|
them that Linux is gaining more of the software market, and told them that Umax<br>
|
|||
|
|
etc. have given their specs away.<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
I think that Acer wants to create and distribute a binary driver. I don't like<br>
|
|||
|
|
that because I'm constnatly changing kernels, and I won't be able to use a<br>
|
|||
|
|
pre-compiled driver. Anyway, here's the message they sent me:<br>

Dear Lashi,<br>
|

|

<p>
|

|
|
I am the manager of Imaging B.U of Acer Peripherals,Inc.<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
I got your mail from our CSD. As you know, we haven't provide the<br>
|
|||
|
|
scanner driver for Linux, because we don't know how much market share in the<br>
|
|||
|
|
world and we don't have capability to develop the driver on Linux either.<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Could you give the answer as following questions ?<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
1. Do we need to open the source code if we use GNU C/C++ to compile our<br>
|
|||
|
|
code ?<br>
|
|||
|
|
2. Could you help me to develop the driver ? or somebody can help me ?<br>
|
|||
|
|
3. Does Linux support USB ?<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Thanks for your information and advance.<br>
