[sane-devel] Problems with Scanner ACER 620ST

[Rainer Hofmann]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup this scanner using
sane-1.0.4-79 on SuSE 7.2 (Kernel 2.4.4)
but ran into trouble. I'm using a standard scsi adaptor not the cripple part 
delivered with the scanner.

find-scanner: found scanner "Color FlatbedScanner17 0128" at device 
/dev/scanner
find-scanner: found scanner "Color FlatbedScanner17 0128" at device /dev/sg0

I've set it up using yast1 as a snapscan.

rhofmann at pc003:~ > cat /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf
scsi AGFA
scsi COLOR
scsi ACERPERI
/dev/scanner

But it isn't found by scanimage -L!?

Used and loaded modules:
...
ncr53c8xx              52368   0  (autoclean)
sg                     21920   0
...

rhofmann at pc003:~ > cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Cabelling und connection seems to be OK, since it runs with WIN98.
I've tried vuescan for linux which works for normal but not for transparency 
scanning of color negatives. I would rather use xscanimage

Any hints?

Thanks
