Hello,
Thank you for answer Pierre.
Some questions again !

Did you see some GPIO sequences necessary like with your lide 35 scanner ?

OK I can let GPIO11 to 0 (not interested to save few mA for the moment !!!!!!!)

In one 1200dpi log, I get the value 0x22 for reg 0x6C. (but I'm not sure of this log).

So you think that I just have to find the good value and let it from begining to the end the same ?

Why windows driver plays with reg 0x6C ?

OK It answers my question about changing 0x6C value ?
