Actually, that's not true:

      ^^^^^^

According to the SANE API standard, "type=1" means SANE_TYPE_INT.

Or did you mean to say that the backend uses "int" instead of "float"?  :-)

So if the float->int round-up is the problem, then I should change the
backend to use SANE_TYPE_FIXED(=2) for the geometry options fix this
problem.
