Hi,

the 1240 is supported by the backend, but there are several issues with
FreeBSD...
There are some reports, that using the libusb does not work correctly, there's
also a description for making a CanoScan device work with FreeBSD 4.8:
http://gja.space4me.com/things/CanoScan_LiDE20_FreeBSD.html

Maybe this helps...

Ciao,
  Gerhard

BTW: The LM9833 and the LM9832 are using the same internal version...
