<i>&gt;         Hi,</i><br>
<i>&gt;         I have an old Slackware with gimp-1.0.0 and sane-0.74</i><br>
<i>&gt;         and a Snapscan 310 AGFA scanner : the whole thing works</i><br>
<i>&gt;         perfectly :)</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt;         Recently I have installed the new debian 2.0, but instead</i><br>
<i>&gt;         of using the .deb packages (which don't install programs</i><br>
<i>&gt;         in /usr/local) I compiled sane-1.0.0 but it didn't work :(</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt;         Here are the systems settings :</i><br>
<i>&gt;         - kernel 2.0.33 (compiled with generic scsi device)</i><br>
<i>&gt;         - /dev/sga created by MAKEDEV</i><br>
<i>&gt;         - GTK 1.0.4</i><br>
<i>&gt;         - gcc 2.7.2.3</i><br>
<i>&gt;         - aha1505 scsi card (for the 1st card, 2nd is Tekram DC390F)</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt;         Symptom :</i><br>
<i>&gt;         scanimage/xscanimage can't recognise -d snapscan:/dev/sga</i><br>
<i>&gt;         but only pnm:0 and pnm:1 :(</i><br>
<i>&gt;         (The scanner is recongised at boot, as well as the scsi card)</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt;         Have you got any idea for solving my problem ???</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<p>
The move to sane-1.00 has uncovered a mysterious bug in the snapscan<br>
backend. I'm in the process of tracking down the error now and<br>
hope to have the backend working properly with the package in the<br>
next couple of days. My sincere apologies, everyone. The release of<br>
sane 1.00 came at a bad time for me and I didn't give the snapscan<br>
backend the proper testing it should have gotten.<br>
<p>
When I get it fixed I'll make a patched backend available.<br>
<p>
Thanks,<br>
<p>
