[sane-devel] Canon CanoScan LiDE20, SuSE and red faces

[Aldo]

Hello,

my partner is not linguistic, so I post the question:
she's running SuSE 9.0 
with KDE 3.1.4,
Kooka 0.41,
SANE 1.0.10;

the Canon CanoScan LiDE20 was first recognized by the hotplug and 
problemless installed by SuSE's YaST2 installer-tool.

But after a few trials, after she increases the dpi resolution for 
scanning an image (from default 50 to 600 dpi):
- the scanned result became red, as red-face as possible
- and Kooka refused since then to do previews or real scanning.

We read about a bug in Kooka, but ignore if this come from there, or 
from the Sane version SuSE installed itslef?

Note: under another (non-free) O S it works of course, perfectly, even 
if she scans images on 300 dpi, just to say there is no problems with 
the LiDE20 itself.

But:
- is the problem coming from Kooka?
- now Kooka is dead and SuSE no longer connects to the scanner, does she 
better migrate to a newer distrib / SuSE version?

A last note:
I tried to find Kooka 0.411 in rpm, to overwrite the broken one; 
not found.
Now SuSE no longer connects to the scanner I completely ignore how 
to help her.
