The backend is provided by the patch supplied by Steven.  For more info look 
here:    http://viceo.orcon.net.nz
There is also a patch for the kernel and some support files.

The snippet of output attached is the same I sent to Steve, the viceo stuff 
is what is supposed to support my scanner.  There did not appear to be any 
other errors.  I had plenty of warnings at build time but no errors, not that 
I particularly looked, and experience says not to worry about warnings.

I have made the (perhaps erronous) assumption that sane would detect my 
scanner even without the relevant patches, although it can't drive it.  This 
seems to not be the case however, (the Mandrake supplied rpm version 
certainly doesn't), although an older sane picked up my cdr/w.
