It seems that the backend has these options, but they are de-activated al=
most=20
all the time.

In sane_control_option(), see all the lines like
    scanner->opt[OPT_BRIGHTNESS].cap =3D SANE_CAP_INACTIVE;

This tells the frontend not to offer the option.

You can change some to
    scanner->opt[OPT_BRIGHTNESS].cap &=3D ~SANE_CAP_INACTIVE;
to activate them.

Then, if the option is active, use the value with
   dev->brightness =3D scanner->val[OPT_BRIGHTNESS].w;


Hope that helps,
   Frank.
