I've just noticed (those who download-compile-reboot-repeat have presumably<br>
|
||
seen this some time ago) that the Alan Cox -ac versions of the Linux kernel<br>
|
||
now include the enhanced SG driver described at<br>
|
||
<a href="http://www.netwinder.org/~dougg/">http://www.netwinder.org/~dougg/</a><br>
|
||
BTW When I looked Douglas had a much better grasp of SCSI than of HTML :(<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In theory this should buy SANE (via its nicely unified SCSI infrastructure)<br>
|
||
a better chance of talking to the scanner at all on heavily loaded machines<br>
|
||
(where the old sg driver was likely to protest ENOMEM) especially with PCI<br>
|
||
Even better, there is no SG_BIG_BUFFER stupidity (!)<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I suspect that for some people this might improve performance too (I have<br>
|
||
no bone to pick about SANE SCSI performance, since for me it already beats<br>
|
||
existing Windows software)<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The new driver is mostly compatible with the old 2.0.x (and before) driver<br>
|
||
and will presumably merge into Linus' 2.2.x in the next few months. So<br>
|
||
would anyone who currently has ENOMEM troubles like to try it, and report<br>
|
||
back if it helps? I guess the easiest way to try it is to grab 2.2.5-ac1<br>
|
||
from Alan Cox's site.<br>
