It hurts badly when reading them on a 75Hz screen :))

Ok. It means that SANE will take care of that? (Sorry not very familiar=20
with SANE, and don't know what I have to do and what is already done.=20
But apparently with this wonderful SANE project I have just to give my=20
scanner's specifications (how the chipset works) isn't it ?

Really ? sane-find-scanner -v -v doesn't find the chip's type, but if it=20
is close to it, I would be pleased to have informations about that :)
You can look at http://home.gna.org/canoscan5000f/sniff/ for other=20
gzipped logs, i you want to verify that :)

AFAIK =3D ? (Sorry, I don't know enought english to know abbreviations=20
(You must certainly already got it :)) ))
Ok for that.

I was wondering if the image data could be sent in may times, or if as=20
you suggest there is some calibration : indeed the Windows driver says :=20
"lamp adjusment, please wait" or something like that in French :)

Thank you very much,
