I have the Microtek ScanMaker V6UPL working in Linux using the =
microtek2.conf backend (newest version)
I got some help from Kristian Stark and have scanned several pictures =
with it.
All that was required was adding the scanner to kernel module =
microtek.c, then recompiling the kernel, including the microtek driver =
in the kernel. Then looked up dmesg to see what device it was attached =
to and put 'alias sg1 scanner' in the modules.conf file.
The only problem so far is I get a 'scsihostadapter' module not found =
warning during boot, but I think that is a side effect of installing =
scsi in the kernel and not actually having any scsi devices. The CD =
Writer and scanner are scsi0 and scsi1 and both work.=20
I am writing a tutorial on how to do it at =
http://members.home.net/decibels.com/
If you have any contacts you could tell the microtek.c driver writer to =
add the scanner in the driver, but maybe since it has to be compiled in =
the kernel that might be a little more than just having him add it. I'm =
sure you know more about this than me.
