You only need sg for SCSI scanners or USB scanners that use a
SCSI-over-USB kernel driver. In current avision backends that doesn't
seem to be the case. That's why you can use the generic USB kernel
scanner driver ("scanner.o") at all.

In SANE 1.0.10 the avision backend doesn't use "sanei_usb_init". So am
I right that you just used sane 1.0.10 and copied the latest avision
backend into the source code? That doesn't seem to work. Get a
CVS snapshot that includes the backend (see SANE homepage, download
section). I haven't checked the backend code but I guess in addition
to the backend itsself you need updates to the sanei code and
backend/Makefile.in. All of those are included in the CVS snapshot.

If the avision maintainer reads this: the avision manpage still talks
about the hpusbscsi modules and is otherwise pretty SCSI-centric :-)

Bye,
