I got the scanner working. If I boot with udev, the scanner works, and the permissions on the device look like this: ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002/ crw-rw-r--+ 1 root root 189, 137 Aug 16 10:30 010 and with vdev, it looks like this: crw------- 1 root root 189, 131 Aug 16 10:39 004 I changed the permissions and added myself to the scanner group (oops!) and now xsane finds the scanner when I'm running vdev. I hope someone knows what to do with this information, because I'm in new territory here. (and I don't know C.) If udevadm output for the scanner would help, I'll post it. The udev rules for scanners are in /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules -fsr _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
