[sane-devel] re: 2480 Transparency Issues
Still trying to resolve the issues with the 2480 scanner when using the transparency unit. Using gimp and the Acquire Image... with xsane also results in messed up preview area. The scans are still not usable, but getting closer. From Gimp, the number of color bands is reduced by half. I'm not sure why, but the resulting scans are still not usable. Still looking for any pointers. ken

And they can claim that they developed the algorithms and thus you're violating their Copyright. By actually looking at their code you're tainted. Depends on if you're in the EU or not. In the EU, if either the company has gone to the wall or the software will not work on your specific hardware, you can (in some circumstances) reverse engineer the source to fix it. IANAL, but looking at logs doesn't taint anyone - logs just tell you what messages have been sent, nothing about the code etc. Ultimately, it's your choice (and possibly problem). I wouldn't do it that way for the given reasons. That's always the choice. I know I've reverse engineered the odd scanner printer or three, released the source and nothing has happened (I even offered it to the company who made the scanner!)

[sane-devel] genesys gl841 patch
Hi, This is the newest and hopefully final version of my genesys_com patch. This patch makes the bulk transfer functions chip specific and completes the gl841 side with a gamma bulk transfer function. It also moves the last two occurances of send_slope_table inside the chip specific init functions. Lastly it corrects the register arrays for gl841. Please check it does not break anything on the gl646 side. If there are no complaints this patch can go into cvs. Regards, Pierre -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

[sane-devel] scanimage/saned segfault
I'm playing with network scanning. I have a Linksys NSLU2 running Unslung (the opened-up firmware) acting as the scanner server (for an Epson Perfection 1670, backend is snapscan) scanner. Local scanning works fine at 8.5x11 (large debug output): http://zorac.sf-bay.org/~scott/scanimage-local-8.5x11.txt Network scanning works fine at a size of 6x4 (more debug output): http://zorac.sf-bay.org/~scott/saned-6x4.txt http://zorac.sf-bay.org/~scott/scanimage-net-6x4.txt However, when I try a network scan at 8.5x11, scanimage dies with a broken pipe and saned segfaults (yet more debug output): http://zorac.sf-bay.org/~scott/saned-8.5x11.txt http://zorac.sf-bay.org/~scott/scanimage-net-8.5x11.txt Thoughts? -- Scott Hazen Mueller | sc...@zorch.sf-bay.org or zorch!scott Boycott Internet Spam: See URL:http://spam.abuse.net/.
[sane-devel] scanimage/saned segfault
scott, not enough data from the debug logs there. with both the endianness and alignment issues of gcc on the slug, it could be a host of things. can you try doing some differences in color depth and resolution, and see if it is truly size based, or rather data size based. can you verify that your setup works with an x86 linux box in place of the slug? can you try openslug? allan nslu2-linux moderator, and sane backend maintainer.
