You've probably enabled the v4l backend in dll.conf. When Sane starts it loads all backends that are listed in dll.conf and tries to initialize them. If no scanner (or in this case video capture card) is found, the=20 backend just goes away. In order to find a device, the backend has to try to access the hardware. When a video capture device is accessed, the kernel tries to load the appropriate kernel module. So the error you=20 see is not really an error. You can get rid of the message by commenting out all backends in dll.conf that you are not using.
