3. You might try upgrading your Slackware distro if you are running a
2.6 kernel anyway. There might be some kind of problem with libusb;
the latest version used now in Slackware is libusb-0.1.12-i486-1.

Perhaps Sane works better with Hotplug
It does: after setting up Hotplug support, the scanner works as ordinary
user, and how well it works: Thanks to those who wrote the SnapScan

What a pity that Sane doesn't play nicely

machine.
libusb uses either /proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy or /dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy on
modern 2.6 kernels.
Well, here it uses /proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy as /dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy

Hi,
Well, here it uses /proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy as /dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy doesn't
exist. But even if I mount /dev/bus/usb, then it doesn't work. The
problem is that the udev rules provided with sane-backends-1.0.18 don't
touch files in either directory

of additional packages, that - as I just found out - also include a udev
package which replaces the original Slackware one. Also, I don't use
the Slackware 2.6 kernel package. Instead a slightly newer kernel that
I compiled myself.
Try upgrading

I just did all of that. But it still doesn't work, although a symlink
is
if you unmount the usb fs from /proc/bus/usb, does it work then?
