[sane-devel] epson scanner driving me crazy

[Emilio Fesocchi]

Hi everybody! I'm trying to reinstall SANE (hd failure! @#&%!!!) for my Epson Perfection 640U (usb) but this time I'm  facing a little problem, everytime I try "scanimage -L" I get:

device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BT878(Hauppauge (bt878)) virtual device

Here's some more info:

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices:

[...]

D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=ff MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=04b8 ProdID=010c Rev= 0.01

S:  Product=Perfection640

# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x010c) at /dev/usb/scanner0
  # Your USB scanner was detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

# here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend

# SCSI scanner:
#scsi EPSON

# Parallel port scanner:
#pio 0x278
#pio 0x378
#pio 0x3BC
#
# USB scanner - only enable this if you have an EPSON scanner. It could
#               otherwise block your non-EPSON scanner from being
#               recognized.

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 3c59x
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias char-major-180 scanner
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
[...]

and finally:

crw-rw-rw-    1 Emo      root     180,  48 Apr 11  2002 /dev/usb/scanner0

crw-------    1 Emo      root      81,   0 Apr 11  2002 /dev/video0 (THE WRONG ONE!)

I already thank you for having read down to this line ;) and thank you in advance for your answers.
