[sane-devel] Visioneer Problems

ok- as we covered recently, you have to upgrade the avision backend
with the one from rene's site. this will involve:

1. downloading and extracting the sane source code
2. downloading and possibly extracting rene's updated files
3. replacing some files in the sane tarball with those from rene
4. configure sane with the proper arguments to overwrite that provided
by your os
5. make && make install

you still feeling game?

also as a strong bit of advice, you should reply to your old messages
to the list, instead of starting a new message every time. this way,
mailing list archives and list users that use a threaded viewer will
get your mails all in a group. this is especially useful when you are
restarting a thread that is a month old, or when you post three times
in the same day :)
