[sane-devel] Boeder SmartScan Slim Edition on SuSE

[m. allan noah]

1. when you are going to start building things from source, stop using 
rpm. find the latest libusb.tar.gz at http://libusb.sourceforge.net/, and 
install that. (should be 0.1.7 or greater)

2. you still have scanner.o in the kernel. your hot-plugging scripts are 
likely doing this. you can either remove the kernel scanner module
(it lives in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/scanner.o), or 
you can comment out the lines that try to load it when they see your 
scanner. (look in /etc/hotplug/usb.distmap or nearby for your vendor's id)
