Hi,

<EM>&gt; I have a scsi scanner: Umax Astra 1220S. I had RPMs of xsane &amp; sane
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; installed from the Ximian Gnome 1.4 RPM set. I suddenly found that I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; could no longer get previews when I was using xsane. According to my
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; syslog, when I loaded xsane, modprobe was looking for &quot;char-major-81&quot;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; which it couldn't find. The scanner was then taken offline until I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; rebooted the PC.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I found however that after a reboot, I could load xsane and do a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; straight scan OK (bypassing preview).
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I looked at the kernel source (I'm running 2.4.3) documentation for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &quot;char-major-81&quot; and was not convinced that my problem lay directly with
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; that error (Video4Linux!?).
</EM><BR>
<P>SANE can use Video4Linux devices. To be sure that there won't be any
<BR>
problem with v4l you can disable it in /usr/etc/sane.d/dll.conf (or
<BR>
wherever your Distribution puts this file).
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; It may have been around the time of my kernel change from the RH7
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; default of 2.2.16-22 to the stock kernel of 2.4.3 (because I wanted the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; LVM facility in the 2.4 kernel). I read something about scanning being
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; messed up when changing kernels because a setting SG_BIG_BUFF is reset
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to a smaller value than before the kernel change which affects the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; memory that sane thinks it has. 2 paths were mentioned:
</EM><BR>
<P>I don't think that that's the problem. Look at the SANE FAQ
<BR>
(<A HREF="http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html#65">http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html#65</A>) for a solution of the
<BR>
Linux 2.4 timeout problem.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; If I try to run xscanimage with the Debugging level set to 4 ....
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; [rupert@localhost rupert]$xscanimage
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of xscanimage to 4.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; [xscanimage] xscanimage (version: 1.0.4, package: sane-frontends)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; starting
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; [xscanimage] No scanners were identified. If you were expecting
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; something
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; detected by the find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; read
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; manpages).
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; [xscanimage] xscanimage exiting.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; ...... it doesn't tell me much, except what I already know.
</EM><BR>
<P>Set the debug level of your backend, not the debug level of xscanimage.
