I've put a patch file for the Lexmark X1100 backend on my website. 
Instructions for getting it are at 
http://ca.geocities.com/freshsh...@rogers.com/scanner_driver/download.html

The driver has been tested with tstbackend, scanimage, and xscanimage. 
It gets a segmentation fault with xsane.
All testing has been done on Linux RH Fedora Core 3, with the Lexmark 
X1185. The Lexmark X1110,  X1140,  X1150, and
X1170 all use the same Windows driver, so the assumption is that they 
will work with this backend as well.

Status:

The backend has been tested with varying degrees of success in the 
following combinations:
*Resolution
*       *Mode
*       *Sizes Tested
*
75dpi   Colour
        wallet, 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, letter
75dpi
        Grayscale
        wallet, 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, letter
150dpi
        Colour
        wallet, 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, letter
150dpi
        Grayscale
        wallet, 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, letter

        wallet, 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, letter

        Colour
        wallet, 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, letter
600dpi  Grayscale
        wallet, 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, letter
1200dpi (600x1200)
        Colour  wallet, 3x5
1200dpi (600x1200)      Grayscale       wallet, 3x5


Note at some of the larger scans xscanimage crashed with a filesize too 
larger error even though the scan produced a successful image file.

To Do List:
- fix endian byte ordering bug in colour scans (really noticable at low 
resolutions)
- more testing
- fix jerky movement on 600dpi grayscale 8x10 scan
- add documentation
- code clean-up as per /* F.O. ....*/ comments
- add dark compensation
- add calibration
- what's going on with xsane - why the segmentation fault?

thats all for now,
Fred Odendaal

nice work :)

random question: how can I use xsane without running it as root?
xsane doesn't find the scanner if I run it as a user.
