[sane-devel] UMAX backend with sanei_thread, Mac OS-X users please try, OS/2 users please try!

[Oliver Rauch]

Hello Randolph,

your problem has nothing to do with fork(), the backend does not reach to
the position where the reader_process is started, the problem already oocurs
while calibration:

[umax] scanner reserved
[umax] sending 3 * 256 bytes of gamma data for RGB
[umax] send_gamma_data
[umax] using gamma download curve format type 2
[umax] set_window_param
[umax] window descriptor block created with 82 bytes
[umax] window(s) set
[umax] start_scan
[umax] starting scan
[umax] do_calibration
[umax] wait_scanner
[umax] scanner reports Error during device I/O, waiting ...
[umax] scanner does not get ready
[umax] trying to release scanner ...

But to answer your other question at first: the scanner IS supported.

There are some possible reasons for the problem like
- bad scsi buffer size
- bad scsi driver
- bad scsi cables or termination

Please redo the test with
export SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI=128
and please also take a look at the kernel log file if you find any
scsi errors there.

Oliver
