Thanks for that pointer.  Love gentoo but there is indeed a 
bit to learn :-).

Now if I can get it working as other than root, we'll be 
there.  xsane insists on picking up that tv tuner card no 
matter what.  I even copied over the AGFA:SNAPSCAN.drc over 
to my .sane directory and it is roundly ignored :-). 

Thanks & take care, V.
