Hi guys Thanks for your patch - I have also seen these symptoms on a Microtek X12 USL with *no* document feeder - both the X-server crash (eek) and the coloured stripes down the page.
Karsten Festag maintains the microtek2 backend, so hopefully your patch will be implemented shortly, and Karsten can see if there's a more general solution to cover the no-feeder situation. On the coloured lines question, Karsten requested a SCSI trace of a scan, to capture the actual data being transferred. I don't have access to a SCSI probe / analyser, so I can't help him debug the problem. Are you able to get your hands on an analyser? Alternatively, do you know a way to 'tap into' the /dev/sg driver? I tried looking at /proc/scsi/sg/debug but that didn't get me much info. Perhaps I need to recompile / set some environment variable, but I'm not sure where to look for info on this. Hopefully we'll all have perfect scans one day!
